IIS7 > Servername > SharePoint Web Services > ServiceApplicationID> Basic Settings
Alias=<ServiceAppID>
Application Pool=<ActiveDirectoryDomain\DomainAcct>
Physical path = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\WebServices\Metadata (wss_wpg has read & exec, list and read; wss_admin_wpg has full control and the service account is a member of both groups)
Connect As = Application User (pass-through authentication)
Results in the following error:
- 'There was an error while performing this operation.'
- 'Details:'
- 'Invalid application path'
However, if I connect as the service id assigned to that application pool, the test is successful.
This is ONLY happening in one of my 30+ farms - including test farms...
All other farms succeed in authentication and authorization when using the same settings (although the service account is different and in different domains)
This failed pass-through authentication TEST happens on ALL web services on this server. Could there be an issue with the app pool / alias for the app pool? What steps should/could I take to ensure I receive a successful pass-through authentication test?
