The portal is not initialized. Configuring the portal. The portal is created successfully. Waiting for the portal to restart. Populating the portal license. You may access the portal by navigating to: https://172.31.49.200:7443/arcgis/home The createportal utility completed successfully. Stopping the createportal utility.

   Info

6. Run./listadministratorusertypes.sh -lf /home/arcgis/ArcGIS_Enterprise_Portal_107_283791_20190814.json. You'll get the following output.

   Code Block
   ================================================== Starting the listadministratorusertypes utility. ================================================== Checking if the portal is initialized. Checking if the portal is configured. The portal has already been configured.

7. Open a web browser and connects to the server URL using public IP. Portal redirects to internal IP address, which is not accessible from outside.
8. Install firefox from super user. #apt install firefox.
9. ssh -Y to the server to establish Xwindow session.
10. Run firefox with the internal URL.
    
11. Login with the username and password that you specified in createportal.properties.
12. Open the https://172.31.49.200:7443/arcgis/potaladmin/ in Firefox.
13. Click System > Properties to allow the portal access using public DNS entry.
14. Update Properties using JSON after entering the DNS information (WebContextURL is required):
    
15. Open web browser from your machine and enter https://arcgis-server.gisdemo.net:7443/. You should be able to access portal.
16. You can put portal behind load balancer with AWS certificate manager.  In that case, change WebContextURL to load balancer listener name like https://arcgis-s.gisdemo.net:7443/arcgis. Path based forwarding rule will (e.g., /portal/ forwards to 7443) not work since both server and portal uses /arcgis as context.

17. If you don't want to specify port 7443, one possibility is to have create another load balancer with a different DNS entry like arcgis-p.gisdemo.net.
