I am having problems publishing services with when using the webadaptor with windows authentication enabled. Setup as follows:
ArcGIS Server 10.1 SP1 and webadaptor installed. Windows domain is used as the source for users and roles Authentication set to web tier Windows authentication enabled on webadaptor in IIS Administrative functions are not forwarded through the webadaptor.
My windows user is a member of an AD group that has been assigned to the administrator role in ArcGISManager
I am able to successfully make an admin connection to the server via http://<servername>:6080/arcgis from arcgis destkop. However if I try to publish a service, I get an error message stating:
ERROR: unable to connect to publishing tools service. Verify the service is up and running.
However, the service is running and I am able to publish the service using the same credentials via arcgis manager and a .sd file.
I get the same results when using the default admin account for manager.
Interestingly I noticed that I am not able to access the service directory at http://<servername>:6080/arcgis/rest either - is this a security 'feature' or just another symptom of an underlying problem somewhere?
However, all services etc are correctly accessible via the webadaptor for the correct user accounts.
If I enable administrative access via the webadaptor, everything works fine publishing to http://<servername>/arcgis, but I don't really want to do this. I had planned to restrict access to port 6080 to a single desktop and author services from there.
Make sure that the accounts that will be administering and publishing services, have access to the data store directory location. I had a similiar issue.
