As a GIS Admin, I can use webGISdr to backup ArcGIS Enterprise base deployment. If any of the systems go down I can restore the whole system and the user content. I take weekly backups so worst case our business loses 5 days of work. That's a risk we are willing to take. This is all great! What if I needed to restore a single StoryMap, Dashboard, Site, or Insights? Does ESRI currently have a way to restore a single item? For complex items, this could save 5-10 hours of work, maybe more for larger StoryMaps that have continuous editing. If no capability exists at this time, please consider this for a future enhancement. Thank you, William ... View more

How do I resolve Error: 400 Invalid redirect_uri when attempting to sign into Portal? Setting up test environment for ArcGIS Enterprise. Portal and it's Web Adaptor installed, setup SSL, added a few entries into the hosts file to get networking to direct my URL (https://domain.com/portal/home) to a sign in page. When I click the 'sign in' link in the upper right, the result is Error: 400 Invalid redirect_uri. I'm using ESRI documentation - installation guides - to setup ArcGIS Enterprise...and this error surprised me. What step did I miss? What do I need to do in Portal Admin directory? Portal logs look ok...only weird entry so far is re-occuring daily 'The database server was found to be stopped. Re-starting it.' This is the internal DB on the Portal server? Only account that exists at this time is the Portal Admin created at install. On screen options are home link that complains about an outdated URL for Portal Sharing and the other..."create an account'. Created an account successfully, but when I click on 'Organization'...I get directed to the URL https://webadaptorHostName/portal/home/organization.html and browser says cannot connect So does it look like a networking issue, like missing DNS entries or is this something I need to add/configure in Portal Admin directory? ...

How do you know which users are currently using Portal, at any given moment in time? Which users have an open, active session/token that can be used later in the day or for the next two weeks? From an admin perspective - it would be great to have an admin tool to view open, active connections (sessions/tokens) and be able terminate or end the session for any number of security reasons.  Either an employee gives a two week notice or the individual needs to be walked out of a business (immediate job termination), an ArcGIS Enterprise Admin should be able to immediately end a session/token associated with that user. My current experience: My Organization area in Portal for ArcGIS has a disable option, but it does not end an active session; user is allowed to navigate Portal freely even though an admin disables the Portal account. Only on deletion of the Portal account does the session get immediately expired. In some organizations, security dictates the technical implementation of technology. This drive the configuration of applications to reduce risk. In the same ballpark, having admin tools to view and control sessions helps reduce risk to integrity and availability of data (part of the CIA of CISSP, ISC2). ... View more
