Hmmm...While I haven't done this, I can say that I just uploaded a sample SOE to my GIS Server and then searched my Linux box for for the SOE filename. First, using the browser drops the SOE into arcgis/server/usr/directories/arcgissystem/arcgisuploads/admin/<somestring>/soename.soe. From there, it looks to be moved into arcgis/server/usr/config-store/extns/ and arcgis/server/usr/lib/ext/. I don't know what other magic might happen behind the scenes.  You COULD use some tool to do a POST with cURL or similar to https://server.domain.com/webadaptor/admin/uploads/upload  The POST body would look similar to: -----------------------------7e12b2271601c4 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="itemFile"; filename="C:\path\to\soe\SampleRestSoe2.soe" Content-Type: application/x-zip-compressed PK   That's likely a better option than trying to manually drop the SOE in the directories mentioned above and hoping it works. ...

Q1: If you have 3 different machines composing a site do they all have to have the same certificate, or simply be SSL? A1: The only way that applying the same certificate to multiple GIS Server machines in a site could be supported would be if the machines in the site share a domain and you use a wildcard certificate. If you request a certificate to have a CN and SAN like *.xyzdomain.com, you may apply that certificate to multiple GIS Server machines in a site, assuming all those machines are on the same domain. You would not want to get a certificate with a CN for machine-A.xyzdomain.com and apply this certificate to machine-B.xyzdomain.com. Q2: If each machine in a site has to have the same cert, does the web adapter machine also have to have that same cert? A2: No. Certificates are applied at the web server level, not the machine level. A machine may have multiple web servers. For instance, I can run ArcGIS Server and IIS on the same machine. Those web servers cannot share the same ports, though. Customers can and do use self signed certs at the GIS Server tier and CA signed certs at the web tier. Q3: If I have a web adapter on machine A pointing at the site, and another adapter on machine B pointing at the same site does it matter? It seems like the Web Adapter machines have to be SSL enabled but the certs can be different than the site, and machines in it. A3. That's correct. I might have a CA signed certificate on a web server with a CN defined as www.randall.com. Then, I might open port 6443 on my firewall and register the web adaptor with a machine inside my local domain called machineA.xyzdomain.com. I may also install the web adaptor on an internal facing web server and configure it to point to my GIS Server site. In this case, I could potentially have three different certificates - one at the web tier with the external facing web adaptor, one on the internal web server, and one on the GIS Server. ...

That's a very generic error. Can you provide more details as to your configuration or workflow? ... View more

If the minimum number of instances on your services is set to '1', there will be a minimum of one ArcSOC.exe instance running per started service. You'll also add at least one for each started service in the 'System' folder. For services that aren't used often, you can set the min number of instances to '0', but keep in mind that it will take clients a bit longer to use the service as an instance spins up. The command line column should help understand which service each SOC instance is tied to.  How many services do you have published? ... View more

Ah, I'm wondering if this issue might have been related to ArcGIS Server Enhanced Security Configuration (IEESC). https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd883248(v=ws.10).aspx ... View more

OK, let's take a step back here. Starting at 10.1, ArcGIS Server is a Java application that has web server components. It does not install to IIS, so you wouldn't see an ArcGIS Application there in IIS quite yet. There *is* a Web Adaptor component that can install to either IIS or to a J2EE server (sounds like you'll be using IIS). When you install the web adaptor, you'll see that application installed into IIS. Background: The web adaptor essentially acts as a proxy from your web server front end to the GIS Server back end - essentially, it proxies requests into https://yourwebserver.com:443 to the GIS Server at https://yourGISServer.com:6443 (or from https://yourwebserver.com to http://yourGISServer.com:6080). At this point, it's expected to not see an application for ArcGIS in IIS. Instead, you're running the GIS Server on HTTP ports - outside of IIS - , which is expected. Please copy and paste the following into a browser running locally on the machine that the GIS Server was installed on: http://localhost:6080/arcgis/manager By default, assuming everything installed correctly (which we're not sure about yet), you should see a page that asks you to create a new ArcGIS Server site. ...

When you complete the software authorization, open a browser and navigate to https://localhost:6443/arcgis/manager. Are you prompted to build your site? If not, do you get a message of some sort in the response? ... View more

Certification for Windows Server 2016 for ArcGIS 10.4.1 is new - the certification was only finalized and announced by Product Management last week. We're working to update the doc. ... View more

This is likely the case. Java/browsers won't trust a self signed certificate. When I test in house, I always obtain certificates from my in house Certificate Server. Your organization likely has an internal CA server. Failing that, you may generate a CSR and have it signed. ... View more

Thanks. I see you're working with Chrome, and the issue is that there's a trust issue with the GIS Server's certificate. To confirm what I think that the issue is, does the same problem happen with IE? If you browse directly to the 'Schools' layer noted in the screenshot, do you get an https error in Chrome? I'm asking because I'm thinking that this may be related to Chrome and Firefox no longer trusting CN in Certificates and requiring SAN (Subject Alternative Name). ... View more

When I see this, it's usually because of mixing HTTP and HTTPS content. If you open your browser, press f12 to open Dev tools, click on the 'console' tab and reproduce the issue, do you see an error? ... View more
