PKIX Exception in Portal using Utility services

[RubénPérez_Planillo]

Hello,

I have implemented a fully ArcGIS Enterprise Base Deployment (only https with a valid certificate in IIS). I have configured it to use ArcGIS  utility services, embedding an arcGIS  valid user.

But, when I try to use it (for example create a buffer around point features in the map viewer) an exception arise:

"Create Service exception ' Exception: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: host unable to find valid certification path to requested target'"

I know this is about SSL certificates and I add some certificates to portal repository (portal/portaladmin/security/sslCertificates/) including the IIS certificate and ArcGIS  certificate (I'm desperate...  )

What I have to do to fix this??

thanks!!!

Export the certificate using the 'Certificates' snap in in MMC. Choose to export the private key. Use .pfx format. Use the wizard to define a username and password, and import. Also get and import the root cert.

Thanks for the answer!

But I don't understand what is the certificate to export (valid certificate from IIS?) and where to import it... I really don't understand where is the problem: server side or client side...

It's likely that the certificate that is used for the admin URL of the federated/hosting server isn't trusted by Portal. Is it a self signed certificate? If not, is it a certificate from your domain signing authority, or a wildcard certificate?

Thank you, Jonathan!

Finally I fixed it configuring the IIS certificate (valid server certificate) in server and portal.

I mean, not only installing it but configuring it as active certificate in both.
