[v9.1.0501] - Security Exception

[cmorgan]

Hello,

 

We currently have 8.5 as our production system but i'm in the process of testing out the new 9.1 release to use as our new production system.

 

Getting this stack trace when trying to get to the directory*. I might already be logged into it as the login page worked fine yesterday.

 

[securityException: The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched.  Inaccessible logs: Security.]
  System.Diagnostics.EventLog.FindSourceRegistration(String source, String machineName, Boolean readOnly, Boolean wantToCreate) +810
  System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists(String source, String machineName, Boolean wantToCreate) +315
  System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists(String source) +22
  HAP.Web.Global.Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e) +93

 

Let me know if you need more,

Cheers

 

[EDIT]

*directory - Meaning the web link to HAP itself (https://gateway.***.***.sch.uk/extra_test/)

 

[EDIT 2]

It looks like this error + stack trace is for any page (even setup.aspx). Probably doing something stupid here

Not a bump, a fix!

 

Had a browse on the interweb, and tried this which worked!

 

Note: Where they say Network Service, replace that with IIS AppPool\HAP (or your equivalent)

 

To give Network Service read permission on the EventLog/Security key (as suggested by Firenzi and royrules22) follow instructions from 'System.Security.SecurityException: Requested registry access is not allowed.' when writing to event log

 

Open the Registry Editor:

Select Start then Run

Enter regedt32 or regedit

 

Navigate/expand to the following key:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Security

 

Right click on this entry and select Permissions

 

Add the Network Service user

 

Give it Read permission
