Workaround

  • Primary Workaround:
    • Configure each machine in the ArcGIS Server site to use a CA-signed certificate over port 6443 (even though the service and admin URLs specified during federation are already using CA-signed certificates).
  • Alternative Workaround:
    • Publish the data store from ArcGIS Pro and add it directly into ArcGIS Server Manager.
