Esri EAEP2201 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

When replacing SSL certificates in ArcGIS Enterprise components, ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS require the root and intermediate (issuing) certificates to be explicitly imported into their trust stores. Unlike the ArcGIS Data Store, which can often rely on the system-level trust store, ArcGIS Server and Portal maintain their own certificate trust management.

From the official ArcGIS Enterprise documentation:

“When using certificates issued by an internal or external CA, it is essential to also import the corresponding root and intermediate certificates into the Portal for ArcGIS and ArcGIS Server trust stores to ensure the certificate chain is validated properly.”

Option B is incorrect. Domain CA certificates are supported and recommended over self-signed certificates for internal deployments.

Option C refers to an acceptable format but does not address the issue, which is about importing the chain of trust.

Option D is incorrect; PKCS#12 (.pfx) certificates are supported but must be paired with the correct chain files.

The correct solution is to place ArcGIS Enterprise in read-only mode. This is an administrative function designed specifically to prevent changes to content or configuration while still allowing users to view and access existing items.

From the official ArcGIS Enterprise documentation:

“Read-only mode allows an administrator to restrict changes to the portal. When enabled, no users (including administrators) can create, update, or delete items, groups, or users. However, users can still search for and view items, access content, and use apps and services.”

This feature is typically used during maintenance windows or before performing disaster recovery tasks to preserve system state.

Option B is incorrect because changing user roles to Viewer would not prevent content changes by administrators or other roles with publishing privileges.

Option C refers to cloning, which is not a preventive or temporary access control measure, but rather a method for standby deployments or replication.

Option D (disabling the Web Adaptor) would disrupt access entirely, which does not match the requirement to allow viewing.

Map image layers (map services) do not automatically detect schema changes, especially in registered enterprise geodatabases. Even with schema locking disabled, services cache the original schema at the time of publishing. To reflect the new field, you must overwrite the existing service.

From ArcGIS Server documentation:

“If the schema of a dataset is changed after a service is published (such as adding a field), the change is not automatically reflected in the service. You must overwrite the service or republish the map to reflect schema updates.”

Option B is not applicable; field visibility in the portal reflects what's in the published service definition.

Option C is related to editing access, not field visibility.

Option D is not a valid administrative action in this context.
