Security reigns supreme in any IT system; ignore it and you will pay the consequences. We started this chapter with some security basics on the importance of password strength and management. Next, we dug into how ArcGIS Server security is initially configured and what can be done to further secure it, covering some security best practices and the identity stores and authentication methods that can be employed by ArcGIS Server. We did the same for Portal security next, covering some best practices, identity stores, authentication, and how to implement Integrated Windows Authentication. The different methods to integrate ArcGIS Server with Portal were discussed along with why and how to federate ArcGIS Server with Portal. Finally, we ended the chapter with a short discussion on the importance of applying software updates to your system. Next up in Chapter 7, Scripting Administrative Tasks we will roll up our sleeves and look at how we can use Python to script ArcGIS Enterprise administration...

Overview of this book
ArcGIS Enterprise, the next evolution of the ArcGIS Server product line, is a full-featured mapping and analytics platform. It includes a powerful GIS web services server and a dedicated Web GIS infrastructure for organizing and sharing your work. You will learn how to first install ArcGIS Enterprise to then plan, design, and finally publish and consume GIS services. You will install and configure an Enterprise geodatabase and learn how to administer ArcGIS Server, Portal, and Data Store through user interfaces, the REST API, and Python scripts.
This book starts off by explaining how ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1 is different from earlier versions of ArcGIS Server and covers the installation of all the components required for ArcGIS Enterprise. We then move on to geodatabase administration and content publication, where you will learn how to use ArcGIS Server Manager to view the server logs, stop and start services, publish services, define users and roles for security, and perform other administrative tasks. You will also learn how to apply security mechanisms on ArcGIS Enterprise and safely expose services to the public in a secure manner. Finally, you’ll use the RESTful administrator API to automate server management tasks using the Python scripting language. You’ll learn all the best practices and troubleshooting methods to streamline the management of all the interconnected parts of ArcGIS Enterprise.
