When validating the federation of our GIS servers, we are presented with the message:

Messages
ArcGIS Server services URL 'https://server01.website.com/server' cannot be validated against 'https://server01.website.com/server/rest/info'. If the service URL is a proxy URL verify it is accessible to clients.
ArcGIS Server administration URL 'https://server01.website.com:6443/arcgis' is accessible.
ArcGIS Server 'https://server01.website.com:6443/arcgis' version is compatible with Portal for ArcGIS.
The background:
This issue is identical to one in the docs here. Unfortunately, the docs just say:
"[In this example] the second server reports a failure as the Enterprise is unable to reach or ping it. This server requires maintenance."
We don't have a Web Adaptor installed for the servers, so server01.website.com/server/... does not exist.
My team recently deployed ArcGIS Enterprise (using Chef and Esri cookbook v3.1.0). All enterprise installs were "successful", including federation--there were no errors that halted any of the processes.
We took the default for a few variables, including WebContextURL, if that would make a difference
We are currently working in a test environment with no certificates. So we didn't specify any of the certificate parameters when running Chef-- the docs say that it will generate a self signed certificate.
My Question:
Regardless of Chef, what might cause this error message? (Certificates, URL specifications...) If I know the root, I can hopefully define the correct variable.
If you want to see the Chef parameters, I can post those as well.
Just an update on this issue for 11.1 in Oct 2023. I had this issue and it turned out to be an issue with the Web Adaptor for Server becoming unregistered. I had to go in to the Server admin and unregister the Server from the Web Adaptor then reconfigure the Server from the Wed Adaptor.
