Clarification on URL attributes in Server deployment #137

Closed mschoelen closed 6 years ago

mschoelen commented 6 years ago

I am attempting to deploy a machine with ArcGIS Server and Server WA, but every time I federate, the machine is listed as the machine name, rather than the domain name.

Assuming that I have a machine (machine01.machine.com) and it has a domain name of (website.domain.com), what am I specifying wrong here? 

  "web_context_url": "https://website.domain.com/server",
  "wa_name": "server",
  "wa_url": "https://website.domain.com/arcgis",
  "url": "https://machine01.machine.com:6443/arcgis",

The default values for server URLs are set this way:

default['arcgis']['server']['url'] = 'https://' + node['fqdn'] + ':6443/arcgis'
default['arcgis']['server']['private_url'] = 'https://' + node['arcgis']['server']['domain_name'] + ':6443/arcgis'
default['arcgis']['server']['wa_url'] = 'https://' + node['fqdn'] + '/' + node['arcgis']['server']['wa_name']
default['arcgis']['server']['web_context_url'] = 'https://' + node['arcgis']['server']['domain_name'] + '/' + node['arcgis']['server']['wa_name']

By default node['arcgis']['server']['domain_name'] is set to FQDN of the machine (machine01.machine.com).

default['arcgis']['server']['domain_name'] = node['fqdn']

Setting domain_name attribute affects private_url and web_context_url attributes. The domain_name is typically set to the load balancer domain name. All of the *_url attributes can also be set explicitly just like other attributes.
