Connection examples

Connection examples

Urls may be HTTP or HTTPS. Hosts can be referenced in numerous ways, IP address, localhost, FQDN etc. You can use any available inbound port number that is not already in use. If using 443, a connection will not require the port number. Here are some examples. Yes means connection schema is supported. No, means that URL connection will likely fail (not work).

Connection URL	Insights in Enterprise	Insights Desktop
http://localhost:9999	no	yes
https://localhost:9999	no	no
http://computer1:9999	no	yes
https://computer1:9999	no	no
http://12.120.95.153:9999	no	yes

¹ Insights Desktop can make connections to HTTPS Kernel Gateway endpoints, if the Kernel Gateway uses a domain or a certificate authority certificate.

² If using port 443, the connection url will look like this https://computer1.esri.com. Here computer1 is the machine name.

Note: Please open the url in the browser and bypass the exceptions before using it to connect in the Insights application. Please refer to the exceptions wiki here
