Hello,

In central admin I am trying to create a new secure store application.

when I try to set the "target application administrator" it does not resolve any name.

when I click on the people picker icon I get this error

How I can resolve this?

yes. everyone was able to solve the problem by defining the right access control mapping. Except me

In my central admin there are two access control mappings defined for the CA web app

1. http://myserver:29066 (default)

2. http://myserver.mydomain.com:29066 (intranet)

I always access CA with http://myserver.mydomain.com:29066. If I try to access using http://myserver:29066 then my firms proxy does not resolve the machine name correctly (so i must type FQDN).

Now with FQDN URL the people picker in configuration of Secure Store application does not work (Mind you that people picker everywhere is working fine and I do not get this error anywhere else.... only when configuring secure store application, I get this error).

I solved the problem by creating a new alternate access mapping for

http://localhost:29066

Now my proxy does not kick in as I am using localhost and sharepoint lets me in because of the AAM.

the people picker is working fine and I am able to resolve all users.

Thanks a lot for your help!!

What you did is a common workaround but sometimes you will suddenly come across it but couldn't solve by playing around AAM. For those who get the same error when working on Target Application on Central Administration page should pay attention to FBA authentication in case you are using it. The error you would see in Event Viewer is "An exception occurred in AllUsers claim provider when calling SPClaimProvider.FillHierarchy(): The connection name 'fbaSQL' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. (C:\inetpub/wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\<port_number>\web.config line 453)

Make sure FBA is correctly configured especially connection string added in Web.Config of Central Administration web is valid, unless you would see People Picker not working.

Hi Thuan Soldier,

it 's correct, we have faced same issue. but it got resolved by checking the web.config of CE.

Regards,

Go to Center Admin Web.config .Change the following setting it works for me.

Find membership tag

<membership defaultProvider="i">
          <providers>
              
              <add name="FBAMemberShipProvider" type="KBLMembership.OdbcMembershipProvider, KBLMembership, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=84ea470bcc6094aa" connectionStringName="FBAMemberShipProviderString" enablePasswordRetrieval="true" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true" writeExceptionsToEventLog="true" passwordFormat="Clear" applicationName="FBA" />
           
          </providers>
      </membership>

Replace with

<membership defaultProvider="FBAMemberShipProvider">
          <providers>
              
              <add name="FBAMemberShipProvider" type="KBLMembership.OdbcMembershipProvider, KBLMembership, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=84ea470bcc6094aa" connectionStringName="FBAMemberShipProviderString" enablePasswordRetrieval="true" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true" writeExceptionsToEventLog="true" passwordFormat="Clear" applicationName="FBA" enableSearchMethods="true"  />
            
          </providers>
      </membership>

Make sure that you are using configured access mapping for the webapplication/central administration website. If the url that you are using is not configured as alternate access mapping, this issue may happen.
