Configure web adaptor for Portal without fully qualified domain name?
Hello all I am trying to create a Test environment with Arc GIS enterprise. I setup Arc GIS sever and was able to connect web adaptor using the machine name and was able to install portal, but once I get to the point of connecting web adaptor to the portal I get an error message letting me know I need a FQDN in order to get the portal to connect Web adaptor. Since I am doing this on one machine as a test env I don't have a domain name or an SSL cert. I generated a self signed cert and then bound the default site to the port 443 in the IIS manager. But should I be doing this with port 80? and not binding anything? I have done test env before with SSL certs and FQDN, but in this case I don't have either. Is their a way to do this with out the FQDN? Has anyone tried doing this? Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated!
I found a few documents and other pages which all point to the below example. When I setup server I was able to connect web adaptor using the machine name and it worked fine I entered the following in the setup window. https://desktop-mymachine:6443. But if I do the same for Portal I get the below message. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. In the below picture I used as an example has a FQDN as you can see but the link I am using is https://desktop-mymachine:6443
I found an article to, I allocated a static IP to my Win10 machine, and used the hosts file to mimic a FQDN: for example 192.168.1.18 mytest-pc.fakedom. But I am not sure if this will work.

A couple of suggestions.
1. Don't use hyphen (-) in your machine name.
2. You may change your machine name to mimic a FQDN (by using Primary DNS Suffix).
