Have you authorized the license for use already?  If no, double click on the license file to launch the authorization wizard. Ensure the authorized license is stored in a location accessable by the users of the computer and ArcGIS Pro app.  On a Windows client computer, <OS drive> C:\Users\Public\Documents\ArcGIS works. Then here's what each user must do:   ... View more

Then, with the credential the third party service owner has provided you with, use a portal authenticated account to consume the service and, from this account share to organization.  Please note that this method may not persist as the third party token and/or method of authentication may not allow or the token lifespace may time out.  It's really controlled by the third party what can and cannot be done based upon your brief description. ...

Is the "ESRI" service in the Living Atlas or other?  Have you an ArcGIS On Line Organization or only Enterprise?  If yes to having AGOL Org, have you enabled consumption of Esri content authenticated with an AGOL account in your Enterprise Portal Settings? ... View more

A good suggestion, however recognize that using the "canned" Enterprise Builder method does limit some organization/site specific configuration settings that may lead to success, failure or inhibit grow out options later on.   ... View more

Is your server federated with a portal or stand alone?  The methods differ depending on this. In either case, the "Run As" account for server must have, at a minimum, read access to the date store you are registering. ... View more

Perhaps revisiting the end user's requirements may help.  If the end user simply wants a Single Sign On (SSO) experience then that can be achieved without using IWA by enabling SAML authentication with your identity provider.  Enabling SSO in this way with Portal tier authentication on both your Entperirse Portal and AGOL Organization does allow "pass thru" authentication between Portals as long as the account used is the same on both portals and the identity provider is the same.  This option also allows the use of built in Portal accounts on both Portals to create authenticated handshake between the portals. Depending on your environment and Internet access rules a collaberation between Portals may work. Depending on your environment and Internet rules the trusted Portals method may work.  There are  a number of different strategies available here.  The important starting place is to fully understand your organization's computer user authentication strategy and leverage what works best for ArcGIS. Understanding your web server environement is critical. Undertanding tokens where they are generated and  their life spans is also critical. ... View more

Have you read ArcGIS Pro Licensing Help The license authorization for ArcGIS Pro is user specific and stored in the user's profile.  Each user must set up license access in their own profile even if there is a single license file and a single ArcGIS Pro installation.  One at a time, have each user sign into the computer and follow the instructions to authorize with a single use license.   ...

Completely agree with @berniejconnors and @TonyContreras_Frisco_TX .  Move the license manager! Single Use (SU) license management in a large organization is a headache.  There isn't a one size fits all solution.  I advocate Concurrent Use (CU) supplemented by Named User AGOL or Enterprise license delivery to end users.    For our org, we use all three.  For our Internet connected ArcGIS Pro users they get Named User from AGOL, for our authorized componenets with just a few licenses CU, for our Interent disconnected environments either CU or SU depending on the use case. MY PLUG FOR Esri.  Recall a number of years ago the Esri announcement to deprecate license manager component.  Please don't!!!!  When we have to support many different environments both Internet and non-Internett connected, the CU licenensing is still a viable solution for supporting more than one user on more than one computer.  ...

We did consider a strategy as you've proposed at our Interent domain guard/request aggregator level outside the GIS tier.  The level of effort and administrative overhead wasn't worth it. ... View more

Same problem Enterprise version 11.1. Can't determine state of portal service error.  Post upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1 on Windows server 2019 standard OS.  I am machine admin.  I envoked command prompt as administrator.  Now I broke the Portal by changing the run as account from local account to domain account in the Windows services and manually setting the portal folder permissions for the domain account.  The hosting server is on the same machine with run as set to domain account and is OK.  What are my recovery options? ...

Yes.  AVOID!!!!  Spatial perception and eye integration become difficult and slows down any human visualization based analysis task.  Image analysis workflows are particularly negatively impacted.  My observation is based on 2D visualization only.  ... View more
