>Im a bit nervous on what is being done here.
Fair enough.
I am bit nervous myself and plus im dreading the part where i start playing around with Portal but if this is not trial by fire i dont know what is.
Sadly the lovely ESRI class, ArcGIS for Server: Site Configuration and Administration, which while helpful was less the adequate to prepare me for this, hence my combing the documentation and posting on the forums.
>All those ports you mentioned, are needed on the ArcGIS Server machine...
Thanks for clarifying that, i closed all the ports except 80 on the web server machine
>You dont need to open 6443 if you are not running HTTPS (SSL)
Good to know, i closed that port down too but i do believe that i will need it open and have to switch from http to https.
>Has this not been architected to understand what is all needed?
Yes and no, we have been fine just using server to host service that are accessible on our domain but now we are looking at making the services available off our domain
So really what i am trying to figure out is how to have a conversation with IT about this so i can articulate what needs to be done, not try to do my self.
And i think i have my request allready "Hey we are working on building a web map that needs to be be accessible to an outside client can you help me set up AGS so that it accessible" so now its almost as much for my understanding as anything.
Thank you for you help
