Can you describe the problem and your setup a bit more?  What error are you actually seeing?  Are the services secured?  Are you using IWA? ... View more

Regarding the javaw.exe processes, RAM usage increasing isn't a problem as long as it stays lower or equal to 25% of the available physical RAM on the machine.  The main problem is the CPU usage which shouldn't happen even if the RAM usage is at at 25% mark.  It'd be useful to get a better understanding of load on the server before and during the time that your CPU is at 70-90%.  Is the Server handling at lot of requests at that time?  If so, what type?  Export map requests, GP services, etc. ...

Right, but I think if your Postgres database and your ArcGIS Server are both on a machine with an IP address of 10.0.0.1, you also need to add 10.0.0.1 to the pg_hba.conf file to make sure that Server can connect to the database.  By default, PG can connect to itself through 127.0.0.1, (it's local IP address), but Server, as a client, won't be able to connect because it's trying to make the connection through 10.0.0.1.  I'd run ifconfig on the machine and see if adding the IPV4 address helps. ...

What are you interested in seeing when you connect to Data Store directly?  The Data Store is designed so you don't really need to connect to it to perform any maintenance or anything like that, so it'd be good to know your use case for connecting. ... View more

The request for users that it makes is: <portalUrl>/sharing/rest/community/users?q=accountid%3A0123456789ABCDEF The user search endpoint, (sharing/rest/community/users) does not need a token, so it doesn't actually use the credentials provided to generate a token.  It returns very basic information about the users within the organization.  If you were to make that request with a token, you'd get more information. ...

When you originally registered the web adaptor, did you make sure the URL you used to reach the web adaptor registration page was the external URL?  Try to re-register the web adaptor by reaching the registration page through the external URL. ... View more

Have you updated the pg_hba.conf file to allow connections from the Server machine, even though it's on the same machine as the Server?  127.0.0.1 is probably listed, but it may need the actual IP address of the machine itself as it may see the connection coming from the private IP address, (10.x.x.x), instead of the 127.0.0.1 ip address. ...

Eep, that's a bit beyond me too, I normally just fumble around, but glad it's working! ... View more

So the secure services is hosted on ArcGIS Online, as a hosted service?  If you were to run Fiddler or the Dev tools while adding the service, do you see a checkURL request?  Take a look at the response and see if it can successfully connect to the service.  If not, take a look at the Portal logs to determine if there's a trust issue with certificates, (unlikely if the service is actually hosted on ArcGIS Online), or if there's simply a connection issue.  If your Portal doesn't have the ability to make outbound connections, (in this case, to test the accessibility of the service you're trying to add), you may run into issues. ...

What provider is listed first, NTLM or Negotiate?  I believe there should be fallback to the other if the first one listed doesn't work, but I've seen that it doesn't happen and IWA fails.  You can try to switch them and see what happens, (right click on Windows Authentication and go to Providers). ...

If you want to get an idea of how many requests are going to one machine vs another within a multi-machine site, you can set the logs to Info and then query them, which will contain a machine column.  You can take a look at the total counts for requests to the each machines and compare them.  Below is a sample python script to query the logs which you can modify to count the requests to each machine. Example: Query the ArcGIS Server logs—Documentation (10.4) | ArcGIS for Server  ... View more

Great workaround, thanks for sharing!  It'll definitely help other people with the same issue. ... View more

As long as the data for the layers is still accessible, layers in cached services can be queried: Ex: Demographics/USA_1990-2000_Population_Change (MapServer)  https://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Demographics/USA_1990-2000_Population_Change/MapServer/4/query?wh…  ... View more

The documentation on setting up editor tracking goes through the steps required.  Once it's set up on the feature class, restart the service if one already exists or publish your service.  Note that unsecure, or open services, won't record a username since there's no credentials passed along with the edit request, thus no way to determine who made the edits. ...

Joe, are you on 10.4?  That error typically comes up when you use services from an unfederated Server configured with IWA, and it shouldn't be related to how the Server accesses the data, (OS or DB authentication).  The client, (in this case Portal), won't know how the data is accessed.  If you're on 10.4 for Portal, then you can take a look at setting up trusted servers: Configure security settings—Portal for ArcGIS (10.4.1) | ArcGIS for Server  For Trusted Servers, configure the list of trusted servers you wish your clients to send credentials to when making Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) requests to access services secured with web-tier authentication. This applies primarily to editing secure feature services from a stand-alone (unfederated) ArcGIS Server or viewing secure OGC services. ArcGIS Servers hosting services secured with token-based security do not need to be added to this list. Servers added to the trusted servers list must support CORS. Layers hosted on servers without CORS support may not function as expected. ArcGIS Server supports CORS by default at versions 10.1 and later. To configure CORS on non-ArcGIS servers, please refer to the vendor documentation for the web server. The host names need to be entered individually. Wildcards cannot be used and are not accepted. The host name can be entered with or without the protocol in front of it. For example, the host name secure.esri.com can be entered as secure.esri.com, http://secure.esri.com, or https://secure.esri.com. ... View more
