Hello, Since we upgraded our ArcGIS Enterprise from 11.0 to 11.1, applications using OAuth can no longer authenticate. Indeed, response redirection (https://myapp.company.com?code=foo&state={bar}) is rejected by our webserver with the following error: HTTP 400: Invalid character found in the request target: The valid characters are defined in RFC 7230 and RFC 3986. Description: The server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing). Reports are coming mainly from users using Apache Tomcat web server and NGINX. Seems like curly braces are no longer encoded ?!  Thanks, Nicolas ... View more

Hello, Since I upgraded from 10.9.1 to 11.0, my webgisdr restore tests start failing for Portal for ArcGIS with the error message "Failed to update configuration settings.": Here is the relevant Portal for ArcGIS logs: <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:30,264" type="INFO" code="209156" >Creating HA configuration files. </Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:31,39" type="INFO" code="209157" >HA configuration files created.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:31,39" type="INFO" code="209160" >Configuring database for HA. </Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:54,687" type="INFO" code="209161" >Configured database for HA.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:54,687" type="INFO" code="209062" >Storing the config info of machine for portal HA.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:57,178" type="INFO" code="209063" >Stored the config info of machine for portal HA.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:57,178" type="INFO" code="209064" >Updating the JDBC Url for portal HA.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:57,183" type="INFO" code="209065" >Updated the JDBC Url for portal HA.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:57,183" type="INFO" code="209068" >Updating token config for portal HA.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:57,184" type="INFO" code="209069" >Updated token config for portal HA.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:57,184" type="INFO" code="209066" >Editing the directory for portal HA.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:57,406" type="INFO" code="207017" >'content' directory path updated to '{"provider":"FileSystem","connectionString":"D:\\arcgis\\arcgisportal\\content","type":"fileStore"}'.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:57,551" type="INFO" code="207019" >'content' directory registered with the portal.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:57,551" type="INFO" code="209067" >Edited the directory for portal HA.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:57,551" type="INFO" code="209068" >Updating web adaptor configuration.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:57,554" type="INFO" code="209069" >Updated web adaptor configuration.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:57,576" type="INFO" code="217046" >Starting process monitor.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:57,577" type="INFO" code="217055" >Starting watchdog thread run.</Msg> <Msg time="2022-10-29T23:10:58,92" type="INFO" code="209201" >Failed to update configuration settings.

Somehow, it reminded me my previous issue with ArcGIS Server: https://community.esri.com/t5/high-availability-and-disaster-recovery-questions/arcgis-enterprise-11-0-webgisdr-restore-fails/m-p/1204062#M562 I am doing all my testing with arcgis-powershell-dsc and decided to 'importSite' on a Portal for ArcGIS installed manually: it worked. Just like in the issue with ArcGIS Server, I thought at first that hostname.properties file was the issue. But actually not. It is also configured when Portal for ArcGIS is installed manually and even preventing ArcGIS Powershell DSC from configuring it did not solve the issue. So looking at ArcGIS Powershell DSC code, I saw that another file that was edited: hostidentifier.properties located in '$InstallDir\framework\runtime\ds\framework\etc' https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-powershell-dsc/blob/4a33aabf965e2098699bddc499ce1d05003e992d/Modules/ArcGIS/DSCResources/ArcGIS_Portal/ArcGIS_Portal.psm1#L503-L520 After DSC run, it was set like the following: #Set the host identifier. #If this property is set, it will be used to identify the current host. #It can be a host name or IP address. But you need to make sure this name #or IP is well-known in the network. #Syntax: hostidentifier=<host-identifier> hostidentifier=myhostname.company.com #Set the preferred host identifier when hostidentifier is not set. #You can set it to 'ip' or 'hostname'. default is hostname. #WARNING: you should NOT set it to "ip if the ip address #of your machine will ever change. #Syntax preferredidentifier=ip | hostname preferredidentifier=hostname And if I compare to a manual installation, this file is not configured. #Set the host identifier. #If this property is set, it will be used to identify the current host. #It can be a host name or IP address. But you need to make sure this name #or IP is well-known in the network. #Syntax: hostidentifier=<host-identifier> #hostidentifier=192.168.1.1 #Set the preferred host identifier when hostidentifier is not set. #You can set it to 'ip' or 'hostname'. default is hostname. #WARNING: you should NOT set it to "ip if the ip address #of your machine will ever change. #Syntax preferredidentifier=ip | hostname #preferredidentifier=ip So I commented the configuration just like it is when installed manually, restarted the Portal for ArcGIS, and it worked. I will remove this configuration from ArcGIS Powershell DSC code as I already maintain my own fork since BUG-000124901 is still not solved but it seems to me that it is a bug/regression from Portal for ArcGIS as Powershell DSC configuration of hostidentifier.properties looks correct to me so why would webgisdr restore failed when this file is configured ?   Any thought @ChristopherPawlyszyn or @JonathanQuinn ?   Thanks for listening !   /cc @CedricDespierreCorporon  ...
