I just recent added another authentication provider for form authentication. i am able to log in and browse around the site with the permission i gace my test SQL authenticated user however.... the first time i log in every time i recieve access denied on thefirst subsite of my main site, all i need to do is simply hit "go back to site" and it takes me to where i want to go. This happens ONCE with what ever user i initally log in as. I am able to from there log in as any other user with no other issues until i reopen the browser. Recap: Inital access denied on main sites subsite(not my search center site) Hit "go back to site" and it takes me to where i want to go happens every time i open a new browser(firefox, Ie) once it fails once its fine till i reopen the browser. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated im banging my head on this. Steve

Hi, I think there are some wrong data in your site. Please go to check event logs and ULS logs (..\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\LOGS folder with the name format of ServerName-Date-Timestamp.log as default configuration)) to analysis to narrow the issue scope. Hope it is helpful! Seven

here is what i think is the error specifically related to the issues "07/19/2010 08:08:18.61 w3wp.exe (0x183C) 0x0E1C Windows SharePoint Services General 72nz Medium Videntityinfo::isFreshToken reported failure. " Unfortunately i don't know what this means, Google will be my friend for hour or so here maybe. If anyone has further insight let me know. The resr off the error log is as follows for the 1 minute i logged in and got the error. 07/19/2010 08:22:46.15 w3wp.exe (0x183C) 0x13E8 SharePoint Portal Server WebParts 8dxr Unexpected SearchBoxEx AfterDeserialize begin 07/19/2010 08:22:46.15 w3wp.exe (0x183C) 0x13E8 SharePoint Portal Server WebParts 8dxt Unexpected SearchBoxEx AfterDeserialize end 07/19/2010 08:22:46.24 w3wp.exe (0x183C) 0x13E8 Windows SharePoint Services General 0 Medium Potentially excessive number of SPRequest objects (9) currently unreleased on thread 12.
