Hello @MelitaKennedy, Just wanted to tell that it is disappointing that it is not available in the softwares as it would be really helpful to manipulate CAD and BIM data using generally a random 3D coordinate system. Is it something planned or not at all ? Thank

I agree that "sharing/rest/oauth2/" should be the only unauthenticated end point available as it is used for the SAML login "sharing/rest/oauth2/saml" but otherwise, for the rest of the "sharing" surface, I don't think it has to be publicly exposed. Indeed, if using web tiers auth, all the surface is secured so I believe the same mechanism could apply for SAML. I think I gonna create an idea as it does not seem to be available out of the box surprisingly.

Hi @GeoffreyWest , Thanks for your reply. You cannot restrict access with this option and that what I meant in my original post "Needless to mention that disabling directory services is not solution..." Indeed, it only disables HTML version giving you the false impression that it is secured but you can still query it with xhr or raw HTTP GET and POST ! Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I am not even talking about the Portal Admin API but the whole sharing API: "sharing/rest/". To me only "sharing/rest/oauth2/" should be allowed for anonymous with my configuration (portal website secured, data shared publicly disabled, built-in account disabled). Also, I am not sure Portal Admin is the issue... Does Portal Admin works with SAML ? Isn't authentification with the PSA account ? Thanks

Hello, As an organisation, I would like to have the whole ArcGIS Enteprise API surface to be secured by SAML. Currently, I disabled anonymous access to the portal website, disabled built-in account, disabled content to be shared publically, and still the sharing API is publically accessible, enabling user to post parameters while making search and other REST end points making the architecture very vulnerable. Needless to mention that disabling directory services is not solution... Is there a way to have the ArcGIS Enterprise as secured as it would be with web-tiers authentifcation but using SAML authentification ? I want the whole context (ie: "/portal") to be secured with SAML. How can I do so ? Thanks, Nicolas

Definitely agree with @MicheleH1_DNReply ! Would be nice to not install them at all. It would also save a lot of installation time ! I think deploying all those items take more or less 30/40 min !

Many thanks @ChristopherPawlyszyn for your reply and your test ! Much appreciated. My VMs are hosted in a private cloud running on Openstack. Might have the same behavior as AWS. I was afraid that there was something wrong with my setup but from what I understand all the observed behaviors are expected ? Personnaly, I find it a pity that the tileCache does not failover just like the relational dataStore but it's just a feedback ! Thanks !

Thanks for your reply @ChristopherPawlyszyn I just destroyed (not shutdown) the "master VM" having Portal as master and having the 2 datastores (relational and tileCache) as primary. Portal failover, relational datastore failover (thanks to the failover_on_primary_stop property) , and not the tileCache datastore. Isn't it a case where tileCache should failovers ? Thanks

Thanks for your reply @ChristopherPawlyszyn ! Well, it's not what I am experiencing so far: tileCache does not behave the same as relational regarding failover. Even if "failover_on_primary_stop" property is set, only the relational datastore failovers, the tileCache does not. It's not very surprising because in the file "datastore.properties", the property "failover_on_primary_stop" is in the section "Settings for relational data store". Here is a summary of what I am systematically observing (tested at least 2, 3 times): - On a brand new deployment, I can promote both standy "tileCache" or "relational" as Primary. In that case, shutting off the VM hosting the standby datastores is not an issue: ArcGIS Server can still connect to them on the primary and dataStore validation from ArcGIS Server works. => Perfect when the intervention is planned - But if the primary "tileCache" datastore is taken offline, the standy is not promoted and validating the datastore from the ArcGIS Server manager fails. It does work with relational datastore. And for the tileCache, then it's over nothing can be done: => Trying to validate it, returns the following error: ``` Could not connect to the ArcGIS component at URL 'https://PORTAL01.COMPANY.COM:2443/arcgis/datastoreadmin/machines/PORTAL02.COMPANY.COM/validate'. The ArcGIS component on that machine may not be running or the machine may not be reachable at this time.Error: connect timed out ``` Trying to promote it as Primary fails with the same error as well as it tries to communicate with the primary. So what do we do if we have a serious issue with one node which at that time was hosting primary "tileCache" datastore and that it cannot be brought back online ? Regarding the configuration, it is basic HA composed of 2 nodes: Portal01: Windows Server 2019 + Portal for ArcGIS 10.8.1 + ArcGIS Server 10.8.1 + Datastore 10.8.1 (relational + tileCache) Portal02: idem Thanks !

Hello, Setting in an HA architecture, I wonder how HA for a tileCache datastore in standBy mode is supposed to work ? Checking the HA doc it is stated for primary and standby mode: ``` In primary-standby mode, your tile cache data store contains two machines. Both machines contain the same scene cache data. Scene layers access the cache data on the primary machine. If the primary machine fails, the standby machine becomes the primary machine, and scene layers access the cache data on the new primary machine. This allows continuous access to scene layers while you, as the ArcGIS Data Store administrator, recover or replace the machine that failed. ``` It's not the case for me. After configured HA in primary-standby mode, if I switch off the VM hosting the primary tileCache datastore, then the standy does not pick-up: Checking the status on ArcGIS Server admin interface after having the VM offline for 15 min, I receive the following error: ``` Could not connect to the ArcGIS component at URL 'https://PORTAL01.COMPANY.COM:2443/arcgis/datastoreadmin/machines/PORTAL02.COMPANY.COM/validate'. The ArcGIS component on that machine may not be running or the machine may not be reachable at this time.Error: connect timed out ``` What I am doing wrong ? When trying the option to "makePrimary", I receive as well an error: ``` Server machine 'https://PORTALQA02.COMPANY.COM:2443/arcgis/datastoreadmin/machines/PORTAL01.COMPANY.COM/makePrimary' returned an error. 'Attempt to make 'PORTAL02.COMPANY.COM' the primary data store machine with role 'PRIMARY' is not allowed.' ``` So far, from my experience, I cannot takes offline the primary tileStore cache for maintenance purpose. Any idea ? With the relational datastore, I found out that editing the property "failover_on_primary_stop" in C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DataStore\framework\etc\datastore.properties solves this issue but it only works with relational datastore. Quid about tileCache ? Thanks ! @JonathanQuinn maybe ?

Hello @MichailMarinakis1, Wahou, your configuration is almost identical as mine except that I am not using IWA but I do have Web Adaptor for reverse proxying. I already have a load balancer balancing on 7443 private portal URL which in my case is different that the public one. But I still face the same issue. If one portal is deconnected and reconnected again, then the whole portal is messed up and you cannot access 'portaladmin', etc.. So I am wondering what could be the issue for me as Windows authentification is already out of the equation...

Yes, you can download on the following url: https://server.company.com/webconext/sharing/rest/content/items/EPK_ITEM_ID/data avec EPK_ITEM_ID, l'id de l'item .epk. Hope that help. On my side I cannot make the import works using ArcGIS for Python I face another issue. I have to do it manually on the REST API: https://server.company.com/webconext/sharing/rest/community/groups/MYGROUPID/import Hope that helps
