For an ArcGIS Server Single-machine high-availability (active-active) deployment, load balancing sometimes yields the error, "Error Unable to decrypt request parameters. Code 500" when the publicKeys are not identical.

Additional Information

When an active-active deployment is created, each site has it's own decryption keys. Create a backup via the Admin API from one site and restore it to all other sites. This ensures all the keys match between all machines.

Workaround

Use this workflow to copy publicKey:

  1. Stop ArcGIS Server services on all machines in the high availability (HA) Active site.
  2. Rename ..\arcgisserver\config-store\.site\rsa.ser to ..\arcgisserver\config-store\.site\rsa.ser.old on all secondary machines.
  3. Rename ..\arcgisserver\config-store\.site\rsa.ser.rlock to ..\arcgisserver\config-store\.site\rsa.ser.rlock.old on all secondary machines.
  4. Copy ..\arcgisserver\config-store\.site\rsa.ser from the master site to the secondary machines.
  5. Copy ..\arcgisserver\config-store\.site\rsa.ser.rlock from the master site to the secondary machines.
  6. Restart ArcGIS Server and confirm all machines now have the same publicKey.
