Portal for ArcGIS 11.4 Linux - how to use HTTP only?

[MariuszZ]

Hi,

How do I force Portal for ArcGIS 11.4 Linux to run exclusively on port 7080?

The port is open and the service is listening on port 7080, but the browser automatically redirects to port 7443. This configuration is required due to network policies that require scanning of unencrypted traffic.

Is this configuration even possible for Portal for ArcGIS? OAuth require encryption and traffic on port 7443?

I have configured ArcGIS Server to run on port 6080 without any issues.

Encryption is handled at the load balancer (WebContext) level - redirect:

https://myenterprise.domain.com/portal -> portal.host.local:7080

https://myenterprise.domain.com/server -> arcgisserver.host.local:6080

 Thanks

Frankly, this requirement makes no sense. Using HTTP is inherently insecure. Many browsers refuse to use HTTP. Forcing processes to use HTTP for "security reasons" is bizarre.

Since Portal was created after HTTPS was standardized, and Portal messages include authentication, running HTTP would compromise your Portal instance. I'd expect there is no legacy wiring to revert Portal into feeble security mode. With the volume of GIS data flowing, it's probably for the best for the scanner people that they can't process it (especially because the HTTP data from Server is being forwarded, so you get it twice).
