Version 3.2 using a secure web server URL

StephanieSnider — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 16:31:04 GMT

We are using an SSL enabled (self-signed certificate) web server on port 6443 with ArcGIS Server 10.1 SP1. My rest services resolve just fine at https://devgisappvsrv:6443/arcgis/rest/services. However, I cannot get ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 3.2 to accept the web server base folder URL as https://devgisappvsrv:6443/flexviewers. It asks me if I trust the certificate and I click Yes to both messages. But then I see this pop up: "Please check your Web Server Base Folder URL." It won't accept the https version of the web server url. It will accept http://devgisappvsrv:6443/flexviewers, but we don't have http enabled on the server (only https).

Help!!

hey, you might have better luck posting this over in the arcgis server 10.1 forum. FYI i cannot hit that rest endpoint. Are you using a local network only? Do you have a fully qualified domain name?

It is an internal development server so you won't be able to see the links (sorry, I should have removed the link from the address). ArcGIS Server 10.1 doesn't use IIS. It uses Apache Geronimo (Tomcat) as the web server. So my confusion was that by default the Flex Viewer "web server base folder" was pointing to the IIS directory, while the "Web server base folder URL" was pointing to the Geronimo web server (the same as my rest services). I updated the URL to point to the IIS website and now it works.
