There was an error while creating the tenant. Please check your connection to the servers and/or your json payload

 

Environment

Release : 5.1

Cause

The request was for apim-ssg.<tenant_domainname>:9443

There is a VIP in front the portal that changes port 9443 to 8443 - this is the root cause of the failure

 

Resolution

Recommend change DNS to go directly to apim-ssg.<tenant_domainname>:9443.

After the change the request was still going through the VIP reasn:  DNS resolver which you are using in your /etc/resolv.conf who is caching

Updated /etc/hosts

Ip_address apim-ssg.<tenant_domainname> 

Restart the portal server then successfully created tenant  (issue with  DNS resolver which you are using in your /etc/resolv.conf who is caching)
