An approach could be to periodically run a quick query on the logs using the admin API , looking for log code 23840 (service published). Dump the datestamps in a file, then do a diff/compare against a file created from a previous run. If the result of the compare between the 2 files = false, run the script.  The response to the log query would be similar to the following.  {       "type": "INFO",       "message": "Service published [name: 123123123123123; type: MapServer].",       "time": 1511902237075,       "source": "System/PublishingToolsEx.GPServer",       "machine": "machine.domain.COM",       "user": "0123456789ABCDEF::someuser",       "code": 23840,       "elapsed": "",       "process": "24509",       "thread": "112",       "methodName": "pubSD.Execute"     },     {       "type": "INFO",       "message": "Service published [name: ausmap_WFL1; type: FeatureServer].",       "time": 1509544574338,       "source": "System/PublishingTools.GPServer",       "machine": "machine.domain.COM",       "user": "someuser",       "code": 23840,       "elapsed": "",       "process": "19996",       "thread": "73",       "methodName": "pubSD.Execute"     }, Example: Query the ArcGIS Server logs—Documentation (10.3 and 10.3.1) | ArcGIS for Server  ...

Can you elaborate a bit on what specifically you'd like to achieve? I'm unsure there's enough information to provide guidance at this point. ... View more

The logs in Portaladmin should indicate if there's an issue connecting to the directory server. That's the first place I'd check. ... View more

I agree with Jake. This is a mixed content issue. You have the map viewer open in HTTP, but you're trying to add the layer over HTTPS. Personally, I'd just set your portal to require HTTPS only.  ... View more

Hi Robert,  I reproduce this on my 10.5.1 instance. I use Tomcat as my web adaptor. I've never seen this, but I've also not used uppercase characters in URLs I've set in my clients. FWIW, this has been around since at least 10.4.1 - the same happens on sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com.  ... View more

I think you may have to pull it out of the location header in the response to the client. ... View more

In a basic deployment, while it's possible to use multiple accounts as 'Service Account' (or 'RUNAS' accounts), most users use the same account own processes for the components of ArcGIS Enterprise (Portal/Server/Data Store). If you are distributing ArcGIS Enterprise across multiple machines, you'd likely want to use the same domain account. In my test installs where I run everything on a single machine, I use the same local account as the RUNAS account for all of the components. While the installers for ArcGIS Enterprise have the ability to create a LOCAL account on your behalf, the cannot create a domain account. If you opt to use a domain account, have it pre-created and supply that detail when prompted during the install. Keep in mind that domain accounts are subject to domain policies. It's easy to forget to update a password after x number of days for an account that most users don't regularly log in with. If the password for your RUNAS account expires, there may be an availability issue until corrected. ... View more

Q: I don't get the domain part, for an intranet environnement will I need to come of a name of a domain from my head (of my choice) then create its domain certificate then use it to access the Portal, OR I need to buy that domain  (the myorg.net) ? A: Unless you're starting your organization's domain from scratch, no. Typically, and organization will have a directory server (in Windows terms, that's a domain controller). On a windows machine, you can open a command prompt and enter the command 'IPCONFIG -ALL'. The first set of responses should specify your hostname and your primary DNS suffix. Together, that makes your fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the format machine.domain.suffix. For instance, I may have a domain called 'randallswidgets.net', and a machine called 'production'. Together, the FQDN will be production.randallswidgets.net. The certificate I obtain will be for *.randallswidgets.net - I'd use the wildcard so that I can apply the cert to multiple machines on the domain. Ask your network administrator if you have an in-house certificate authority from which you can obtain a certificate. Q: Once I have a domain certificate for myorg.net on the port 443 and then install Portal and ArcGIS web Adaptor I will be able to access the Portal via that link https://wa.myorg.net/arcgis/home without having to mention that domain (myorg.net) while installing Portal or the Adaptor because the certificate on the port 443 is enough to configure that domain with the adaptor, is that true?  A: Kind of. In this case, I'd obtain a certificate with a CN of "*.myorg.net". At the same time, you'd want to set the SAN (Subject Alternative Name) of the cert to just the hostname. You should specify one or more SANs when requesting the cert. Again, your admin can help. Q: ...for number 3, is the website name is the machine name or what ?  I know that the Portal is on https://portal.domain.com:7443/nameOfThePortal/home so the website name in this case is portal and the domain name is domain.com, isn't it ? so If I don't have a website name, the default will be my machine name, right ? A. On Windows machines, when IIS is freshly installed, there is only one website (called Default Website), and it's running on port 80. While the name of the machine *is* used to access the web servers that run on a given machine (a machine may host one or more web servers), unless the default website has been renamed, the identifier will be 'default web site'. You'll need to understand that there are two separate web servers in play: The internal Portal web server (which is not IIS) that runs on port 7443, and the website that runs on the web server that supports the web adaptor (which on Windows is IIS). Q: Is the basic deployment of ArcGIS Enterprise suitable for a production environnement (6-8 users) ?  A: Yes. ... View more

My guess is that there's a cipher mismatch between what's supported at the web tier vs what was supported by Java back at 10.2.2 at the GIS tier. If you have the option to upgrade to a more recent release, I think that would likely help, since Esri has updated the JRE shipped with ArcGIS Server. To confirm, if you take the proxy out of the equation and connect directly to the GIS Server on port 6443, do you see issues? ... View more

1. Windows Server 2008 R2 is out of mainstream support by Microsoft. While it'll likely work, it should be upgraded. 2. While frequently spoken of in terms of 'hardware', a 'server' is a role or a piece of software installed on a machine. For instance, I run windows 10 on my laptop, but I also run IIS as a web server on this same laptop as my dev/test server. My laptop is not a 'server class' machine per-se. 3. If you can create a domain certificate, that'll work. For an internal system, while there is a requirement that you have a certificate, there's no requirement that you purchase a certificate from a certificate authority. ... View more

Q: If I did get it right, I can start by a DEV environnement to test my Apps and rebuilt them than change it to a Production environnement when I have the final product ! A: Yes, that's correct. Q: for the second question, when talking about a multi-machine deployment, what are the constraints on these machines ? should each machine contain a Web Server? A. You only really need one web server, unless you want a high availability type of configuration. The web server would be where the web adaptors live. Windows servers ship with the IIS web server. Otherwise you could use the Java web adaptor on any supported OS with a J2EE application server. For an intranet-only configuration, the web server can be on one of the machines where a component of ArcGIS Enterprise is installed or a stand-alone web server.
