Trying to federate server using this guide for 10.5.1:
Federate an ArcGIS Server site with your portal—Portal for ArcGIS (10.5.x) | ArcGIS Enterprise 

Running into this issue...


"The server at 'https://[internal machine address]6443/arcgis/admin/security/config/update' returned an error. Failed to update the security configuration. Cannot update security configuration to federate with Portal as server is not registered with Portal. Could not connect to the ArcGIS Server on machine '[Internal machine address]'.The ArcGIS Server service on that machine may not be running or the machine may not be reachable at this time."

 I am a bit confused because the current documentation does not mention registering a server with Portal prior to attempting federation. Is there a step or process I am possibly missing?

Ok I will check on the certificate, cause we are using selfsigned.

However no proxy server is being used nor has it been setup…

If you're using Windows NLB, I think you need to set the certificate to the LB and have the backend servers as SAN entries, as NLB is a layer 4/TCP lb.

This work for me:

1. On ArcServer site, open windows firewall and set Inboung Rules and Outbound Rules to allow connections to port 7443

2. On Portal machine, open windows firewall and set Inboung Rules and Outbound Rules to allow connections to port 6443

3. make sure both ArcServer and Portal are set the same protocals (HTTP, HTTPS, or HTTP and HTTPS)

I hope this helps.
