RE: Unable to connect the BAM portal from Biztalk 2006

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I saw you asked the same question somewhere else and offered a workaorund.
Your workaround is an unsupported situation; Roberto has offered the most
probable reason for your problem. For more details, please read on.

You should not be disabling the impersonation. We work on an impersonation
model where an account different from the BAMAppPool is used to connect to
the BAM primaryImport database. These can be the same but doesn;t need to
be. By commenting out impersonate tag, effectively you are forcing the
AppPool account to go hit the database. This is meddling with the isolation
model of BAM Portal. Remeber, while configuring it is the impersonation
account that gets required permissions on the database.

Why is your workaround working? -- During configuration your appPool
account and impersonation account were probably the same which gave it the
right permissions.

What was wrong? -- Either of the three (molst likely 1)
1. Password of the impersonation account changed.
2. Configuration wasn't properly run / was unsuccessful.
3. The registry entry created by the configuration wizard
(aspnet_setreg.exe underneath) was accidentally altered.

What you should you do?
You should rerun configuration. If the password has indeed changed, you
will see a red cross mark against the account. In either case, running the
configuration should fix all the issues.

Finally, you should avoid changing the web.configs by hand. The other thing
is that though you could get management service to work, I am guessing your
activity search would not work as this uses the querywebservice.

Also, you should avoid using the same account for both AppPool and
WebService Impersonation account

| When you install biztalk the setup program save in the registry a user
name
| and password.
|
| Have you change you windows password (or the biztalk account ) after the
| installation???
|
| I think, you could fix the problem with the configuration wizard.
