SharePoint Server not redirecting to default page (Needs Full url to open site)

Our SharePoint 2013 Enterprise server all of a sudden stopped redirecting to the actual .aspx pages of the site when we have navigated to just the server name or folder names.

When I go to “http: //myservername: port/sitepages/home.aspx” the page appears. If I go to “http: //myservername: port/” the page does not redirect, and instead shows a 404 error in Internet Explorer and shows a blank page in FireFox and Chrome.

Some googling led me to this answer, which worked for me, but I realized there really wasn’t good documentation that could help me in solving this. Finally, I found a solution that worked for me.

There are some deals that are added to IIS few of those are related to SharePoint and few related to.Net. I am not sure about the reason why SharePoint DLL’s are removed from there but adding those DLL’s back resolves this issue.

Following are the steps that are to be followed to resolve the issue:

1.          Open IIS Manager (Start > Run > inetmgr)



2.          Click on the server node

3.          Click “ISAPI and CGI Restrictions”



4.          Verify that you have the following web service extensions allowed:



5.          If they are not all allowed, right click + add the missing DLL’s.

6.          That’s it reset IIS and try to open your site.

Business Data Connectivity

I came to a requirement wherein I was supposed to get data from an 3 rd party portal using API’s and then bring them to SharePoint server. The first approach that I finalized was just to make BDC solution that will get data from 3 rd party portal and will deploy it to SharePoint. How to Create BDC solution in SharePoint? I found below link that is having really great description about hot to create and deploy the BDC solution to SharePoint. http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/hung123/creating-business-data-connectivity-service-using-visual-studio-2010/ After creating an POC I came to know that BDC model cannot be deployed on Multi tenant farm. So what can be done next? After some amount of googling I came to know that we can create BDC solution using WCF services also. So I created a WCF service solution that acted as a wrapper that used to fetch data from the portal. We can them publish that service to IIS or Server and use the servic...

SharePoint Server continuously prompting for Credentials

Sometimes it is the case when your SharePoint server keeps on prompting for credentials. After some amount of googling and going through some reliable blogs I found following solution.

Identity client runtime library (IDCRL) did not get a response from the login server.

Recently I was doing some testing with a background PowerShell and encountered a weird error. “Identity client runtime library (IDCRL) did not get a response from the login server”. The error that you might encounter while working with PowerShell. This error is very misleading when it comes to identifying what could go wrong. After doing quite a good amount of research below are the probable causes for the error. Invalid Credentials MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) Manage security defaults. Solutions Invalid Credentials Check if your credentials are wrong. Especially if you are using variables. MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) Check if MFA is enabled on the account which you are using. These only affect you badly if you are developing PowerShell for a background Job. Go to Microsoft 365 admin center Users -> Active users -> Select the user -> Manage multifactor authentication -> Select the user -> Disable multi-factor authentication. M...
