Portal for ArcGIS Setup

Now launch the setup and change installer directory from C:\ drive to D:\ arcgis\arcgisportal.

Now Import license file to authorize Portal for ArcGIS.

Relevant Accounts:

PSA (Primary Site Administrator): portaladmin || sandB0XAdm1nAcc0
Service Account: NEOM\enowagissrv || N#0MenOw@2)3(

Installing Portal for ArcGIS (11.0)

Navigate to the Installer directory and launch the Portal for ArcGIS (11.0) installer. This will first unpackage the installer. By default, these files are unpackaged into the running user's Documents folder.

Extract installer of Portal for ArcGIS

Once finished unpacking, we launch the installer and specify the application directory, i.e. the location where the actual service/core application will run. We want this to be on the C:\ drive.
After specifying the application directory, the installer asks for the directory that we want to specify as the portal content store location. This is the 'operational directory' that contains application data, log files, and other generated content from the Portal service.
2. Change the 'Portal for ArcGIS directory' to the D:\arcgis\arcgisportal directory
  Change path of installation directory
The installer will then ask for the Service Account information. This is the NEOM/enowagissrv account. This is the account that will act as the Portal for ArcGIS application.
1. Add portal service account
Export configuration file.
1. Note: this should be exported to the C:\ drive due to a bug with Esri's software. Once the installation completes, we will move this file from its specified output location into our central directory (//ENOWA-SGIS-WPS/...)

Note: the configuration file must be intiially exported onto the C: drive. I do not know why, but this is an Esri bug that has been around for years.
Select next and wait for finish the installation process.

After completing the installation check Portal for ArcGIS.
1. This process takes about ~60 minutes.

Open browser and type:
- http://enowa-sgis-wps.neom.local:7080/arcgis/home
  - Notice the port 7080 in the URL. This is Portal's internal HTTP port. Portal's internal HTTPS port is 7443. We will need to register the Portal with the Web Adaptor to provide a friendly, a trusted URI.
  - Note: it is likely the URL you entered redirected automatically to https://enowa-sgigs-wps.neom.local:7443/arcgis. This is normal and expected.

Post-Installation Web Setup of Portal Site

Once the portal has been installed and you have confirmed you are able to hit the endpoint, you will need to complete the second stage/phase of the Portal setup which is done through the browser.
Upon landing on the portal page, you should be directed to the 'Create/Join Site' page. Click 'Create Site.'
Next, you'll be asked to provide the Portal for ArcGIS license. This is a .json file that is stored in the central directory we created earlier.
1. 1. Note: the .json file can be downloaded from https://my.esri.com.
Hereafter, we will need to set the Primary Site Administrator.
1. This account, commonly refered to as the 'PSA', is the built-in user that conducts the installation and is a global administrator to the Portal site. This is a very important account and should not be shared outside of the administrator team. It is common to disable this account when the system is up and running to minimize the chances that it is being mis/overused.
The Portal PSA account details are below:
1. user: portaladmin
2. pass: sandB0XAdm1nAcc0
3. The recovery qustion answer is 'GIS Admin'
  1. ^ Without quotation marks
Additional profile details were provided to faciliate in account resets and site administration:
After specifying the PSA details, you'll then need to specify the content directory of the portal. You may be thinking "Didn't I already do this?" which is a yes and no answer. We set the parent container directory, D:/arcgis/arcgisportal. Typically folks use the same directory here, but some use cases may require this to be set differently.
1. However, for our case, we input D:\arcgis\arcgisportal\content.
On the summary page, you will see the system details. If correct, click the 'Create' button to initialize the site creation process.
2. Once submit, the process will take several minutes (~15 minutes) to complete. When finished, it will direct you to set up the Web Adaptor for Portal and register the Portal with the Web Adaptor.

Change Portal Log Settings

Prior to setting up the Web Adaptor, I prefer to navigate to the portaladmin endpoint (https://enowa-sgis-wps.neom.local:7443/arcgis/portaladmin), log in, and modify the log settings to 'INFO' and '30 Day' retention. Additionally, if not set properly, ensure the log directory is on the D: drive as expected.

Applying CA-Signed

Many of the ArcGIS Enterprise components, specifically the Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Server, and the ArcGIS Data Store, have an internal Tomcat web server. These are what enable the software to be accessible via the 'port URLs' (i.e. https://portal.domain:7443, https://server.domain:6443/, https://datastore.domain:2443). These endpoints are typically hidden by the system and the web adaptors, however it is important to have fully trusted communication.

To this end, we will change the certificates that the components' are using for this internal Tomcat server. Rather than reproduce the Esri documentation, the process is described on Esri's support site. The below screenshots are intended as reference images specific to the ENOWA implementation.

Note: after changing the web certificates, the portal site will restart. This is not immediate (it takes ~2 minutes to begin the Windows Service restart and the restart takes another ~2 minutes to come online).

This confirms ArcGIS Enterprise system is running on that machine.

AT THIS STAGE, THE PORTAL IS SETUP AND YOU MUST SET UP THE WEB ADAPTOR. THE FOLLOWING SUB-SECTION RELATED TO FEDERATION SHOULD BE REVIEWED ONCE THE ARCGIS SERVER IS SETUP.
