Error setting up MySite


When setting up a test site (one of our many) before we set up our production environment, I have come across this lovely error:

An error has occurred in the claim providers configured from this site collection

When I went to create the MySite, I scrolled down a bit to the Read Permission Level configuration and found the users were not being found.

So when I click on the “Browse” icon, I get this wonderful message…

So, here is how I resolved the issue.  For what ever reason, my machine name was longer than the NetBIOS recommends (I have learned my lesions, don’t worry), and so the access mappings were not showing the full name of my machine (http://cssp01-testphase1:<port>/).  so I found out that this is simply why the error is occurring.

Tada!!! — No errors…

  1. I’m kind of newbie, so bear with me here!

    Would you please explain a bit more on how you set up the Alternative Mapping??

    Thanks

  2. Thanks, I already to it.

    My default AAM was missing a character.

    It didn’t helps me. all in AAM right.

  4. The problem that I had was all in AAM. I simply just add an AAM of the machine name (the URL of the machine name that lets you into the central admin). But make sure you set up your Central Administration URL up.

    I used for my example: http://cssp01-testphase1 and used the option of Intranet.

    Let me know if this helped, or if you need further assistance. I am happy to help.

    I did nothing in AAM. In my example I install sharepoint in stand-alone mode, on test-sp server. then Administration center starts at http://test-sp:7704. In AAM i saw same URL in Default zone with windows mode.

    I can’t get it to work, my AAM is correct… any other ideas?
