An Update on this topic. So the CA issued (the real) SSL expired a few days ago and of course the Portal was not loading anymore by going to https://gis.MYDOMAIN.com/portal/home/  Here is how the issue was fixed: 1) Obtained a new SSL from a CA authority (using the IIS route of making a Cert request CSR file). 2) Installed the new SSL on the Reverse Proxy server (completing the certificate request in IIS) 3) Exported the SSL from step #2 to a PFX file (inside IIS) 4) Importing the PFX SSL in the ArcGIS Server machine  5) Binding the IIS site in the ArcGIS Server machine to the newly imported Cert 6) Restarting the ArcGIS Server machine. May not be necessary but still did it. HTH someone! ... View more

No luck. Changing from http to https actually returns an error like Invalid response from the server while acting as Reverse Proxy.  It would be nice if your setup is detailed in a documentation: 1) Where to set the Web Context URL (mine was set at the Portal Admin page; just tried at ArcGIS Server admin page but not luck). 2) SSL certificate(s) on be installed on the internal machine's IIS (or elsewhere as well?) 3) URL Re-write Rules, Server Farm setting. Being so close and yet so far for me. Or maybe resetting the environment is needed on my end! Thanks ... View more

I will check later. Only difference, top of the head, is in my case the 'scheme' is http and not https in the Action Properties. The rest of the settings are default/similar to your's. I will be back. Thanks ... View more

Also,   if I   go to the http version of the Portal home page and click on Signin link then the same error happens: ArcGIS Portal insists on redirecting to the httpS page, this is despite me turning off SSL required in the Security page of the Portal (via the Portal's public interface). FYI. Thanks ... View more

Thank you. My Portal is set to only allow HTTPS and, yes, I reach the portal homepage via https://gis.mydomain.com/portal and then click on the Signin page,  upon which I see the redirects. I hope I understood your question correctly. ... View more

Thank you. Yes,we have the ARR module also installed but no Proxy is set there and so I am not sure if ARR is even doing anything. The URL Rewrite module has a few rules, as in my Question above. I am not sure how to set the X-Forwarded-Headers in IIS? Yes, the https://gis.mydomain.com/signin.html does get directed properly to the internal server's IIS--I can see that in the internal server's IIS logs with a bunch of entries like https://gis.mydomain.com/signin.html with code of 302; I believe the same response is seen in the browser. I think I am close: Except for the signin.html (and the PortalAdmin page) every part of the Portal is accessible which doesn't require a login. Yes, please look into it. It should not be hard to duplicate the environment for ESRI and come up with instructions. We have no other issues setting up other Reverse Proxy rules for ArcGIS Servers using IIS and URL Rewrite. Thanks! ... View more

If I disable the Rewrite rules then the portal is unreachable from outside to the address like https://gis.mydomain.com/portal I can't believe that there is not step by step directions provided by ESRI or anyone else which would work for Windows and IIS server. ESRI's Windows RP documentation mentions Apache in Windows environment!! Or I must be missing something obvious. ... View more

Hi, Thank you. There are several dozens of such entries--as in this screen cap below--but none of them are directing to Portal/admin. The screen cap shows what happens, when on the home page, one clicks on the signin.html page. Again, the rest of the SSL functionality works fine. I **think** , as I said above, my URL rules don't work on the HTTPS schema may give some clue--the rules are now part of the original Question above.  ... View more

Added a screen cap of the Reverse Proxy Rules in the original Question. ... View more
