Additional Information

The program menu shortcut created for Server Manager points at http://localhost:6080/arcgis/manager . This shortcut works fine so long as the server is not federated and the security protocol continues to include HTTP. Once the server node is federated, this program menu shortcut will no longer work. As documented here ( https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/administer/windows/administer-a-federated-server.htm ), in order to successfully open a federated manager, you must use the Admin URL of the site as defined at the time of federation. That means: 1) Use https, not http 2) Use the fully qualified name, not localhost or the short hostname 3) Specify the web adaptor name or 6443, not 6080 To work around this limitation: 1) Copy the Manager.url file from C:\Program Files\Common Files\ArcGIS\Support\Shortcuts to your Desktop. 2) Modify the new shortcut file, updating the Web Content tab > URL property to store the Manager URL that adheres to the 3 requirements listed above. 3) Delete the original shortcut file from C:\Program Files\Common Files\ArcGIS\Support\Shortcuts 4) Paste the new, correct shortcut file in the Shortcuts directory.
