Hello Everyone,
We are in the process of installing and configuring GeoEvent Server in our organization. Our organization already has base deployment set-up on two machines i.e. Machine 1 has ArcGIS Server, Portal & Data Store and Machine 2 has two WebAdaptors configured for Server and Portal respectively.
Both, ArcGIS Server and Portal are configured with a CA signed certificate.
On Machine 3 we have installed ArcGIS Server and GeoEvent Server both authorized by the GeoEvent license and as of now both the components are using the self-signed certificate which ArcGIS Server generates automatically when installed.
I was going through the following document
https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/geoevent/latest/install/windows/optional-self-signed-certificate.ht...
This document walks through the steps of replacing self-signed certificate with a CA signed certificate.
I was just wondering that since this link has been marked as optional, what would happen if we continue to use self-signed certificate.
Additionally, I was wondering if we import the self signed certificate of Machine's 3 ArcGIS Server in the certificate store of all three machines i.e. Machine 1,2,3. Then would the machines be able to trust each other and GeoEvent Server would operate normally.
I guess I am just trying to understand the implications of using a self-signed certificate and what functionality of GeoEvent Server would work and not work.
Any insights on this would be helpful.
