[GIS] Using Multiple Web Adaptors ArcGIS-Server 10.2

arcgis-10.2arcgis-serverarcgis-web-adaptor

Currently we have a brand spanking new install of 10.2 ArcGIS-Server with the web adaptor installed on a separate server in the DMZ running HTTPS with a purchase SSL cert. We cannot bind both 80 and 443 on the IIS server as it breaks the applications using the SSL for some reason.

We need to install a second on another web server for a 3rd party app that integrates GIS web mapping into its software but cannot do HTTPS, so this will be Web Adaptor #2 using only http 80. Has anyone ever done multiple web adaptors? Are there any caveats to this?

Best Answer

We were able to successfully do this with little to no issue. I installed the adapter for HTTP traffic on another server, while leaving our original HTTPS web adaptor untouched on the first web server.

Our firewall was setup to route traffic to each sub-url www.example.com/arcgis/map and /arcgis2/map according to protocol. Worked like a charm.

Check out the ESRI Resources page: About the ArcGIS Web Adaptor to get all the information you need.

It looks like you can name it anything you want, as long as that name isn't already in use somewhere else.

@cl3, nice job getting your mapping application in the public web scope. When I run your app with Fiddler open, I do see that it's trying to fetch a crossdomain.xml policy file.

In the root of your web scope (i.e. whatever resolves exclusively to nwrpdc2012.com), create a file there named crossdomain.xml, and inside it paste the following block:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
    <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
    <allow-access-from domain="*"/>
    <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

If your problem goes away, read up on crossdomain policy files and decide if you want to make it more restrictive. Obviously this one is very tolerant of off-domain requests.
