ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0: Configuring web adaptor for portal fails and ends up with “Portal for ArcGIS configuration requires fully qualified domain name in the Portal URL” error,

 

I couldn’t figure out why the Configuring web adaptor for portal fails and ends up with “Portal for ArcGIS configuration requires fully qualified domain name in the Portal URL” error.

 

I’m working at the moment in test environment then I assume that the “self-signed certificate” should be sufficient to proceed with the configuration the same way the web adaptor can be configured for ArcGIS Server (it works with self-signed certificate).

It's nothing to do with certs.  You're using a hostname, not a fully qualified domain name.

  • Hostname = m1
  • FQDN = m1.domain.com

If you haven't got a domain in your dev environment then try

  • FQDN = m1.local 

There are a lot of factors at play in this part of the build that are more IT and less GIS.  You may need support from your IT department as they can be environment specific.

Thank you for the help. It works fine with the (https://m1.local:7443) as per the screenshots below

 

To avoid any IT issues in my test environment, I managed to install all software (ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Web adaptor, and Portal for ArcGIS) in the same machine.

 

Not sure why configuring the web adaptor for the ArcGIS Server can work with (https://localhost:6443) but the portal requires (https://m1.local:7443) where the (localhost=m1)

Portal is very sensitive. It has far more to do in terms of security and acting as the brains of the enterprise. Server has been around much longer and is more forgiving. I still wouldn’t use localhost though.

Always. Always use FQDNs when you’re doing his type of work.
