Web Adaptors & Web Server
Web Server vs Web Adaptor
“A web server is any Internet server that responds to HTTP requests to
deliver content and services.
Depending on context, the term can refer to the hardware or Web server
software on the server.”
- Techopedia
“The Web Adaptor is a web application that runs in a front-end web
server. One of the Web Adaptor's primary responsibilities is to forward
HTTP requests from end users to the back-end GIS Server in a round-
robin fashion.”

Web Server Certificates
Types of Certificates
1. CA Certificate - should be used for production systems, particularly
if your deployment of ArcGIS Server is going to be accessed from
users outside your organization
2. Domain Certificate - an internal certificate signed by your
organization's certificate authority
3. Self-Signed Certificate - commonly used on websites that are only
available to users on the organization's internal (LAN) network
