Question about portal_list #363

Open ramtechjoe opened 1 year ago

ramtechjoe commented 1 year ago

HI,

I am trying to understand this parameter in the pro installation better. The parameter name is portal_list, but it is a string value which I find confusing. I do not see any examples that show this as being a list, only examples with a single Url (usually just https://arcgis.com).

Can I put a delimited list in this parameter? What is the results of setting this parameter? It would seem this is the list of portals shown that the user can select an active portal from. If I am using a license server then I assume this the portal used for licensing should be included in this parameter?

I have used chef for years installing enterprise, but have never used for desktop installs. I would like to moving forward for improved documentation and upgrades

Thanks -Joe

Hi @ramtechjoe,

Could you try using semicolons to separate the portal urls?

Perhaps something like this:

"portal_list": "https://portal1.domain.com/portal;https://portal2.domain.com/portal"
