Another question concerning Context Expired and Can No Longer be Used error

I know this has been covered many times before - each time with essentially the same recommendations: Make sure the time zone is set for the web applications, make sure the clocks are synchornized between the hosts, adjust the timeouts (I've done defaults,
1 minute/2 minute and 5 minute/10 minute), extend security validation time outs, turn off security validation time outs.
Note of these has worked. It seems, from other folks with the issue, that this is a problem that's been stumping Microsoft as well. So I don't feel like paying them $500 bucks for a support session for this.
Has anyone come accross a better fix than the above?
Here's the latest correlation data from the logs. It points to the login timeout as the problem, but I'm at a loss as to what to do about it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Barry,
Thank you for your patience. Here are my suggestions about this issue:
1. Check SPNs for the application pool account for the web application ‘http://community.enet’ and take a screenshot: setSPN -L domain\app pool account (KVAERNER-NO\sno00769)
2. Ensure SharePoint WFE and APP boxes are trusted for delegation:
Trust for delegation.
Note: To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Domain Admins group or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory, or you must have been delegated
the appropriate authority. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.By default, no server is trusted for delegation, meaning that a service on a server in the Active Directory, cannot act on a user’s behalf, basically this
means that a service if trusted for delegation, can impersonate a user and request a Kerberos ticket in the users name.
Validate this setting in Active Directory using the following:
- Open Active Directory Users and Computers.
-In the console tree, click Computers. (Or the appropriate OU where your SharePoint Server resides)
-Right-click the computer you want to be trusted for delegation, and click Properties
-On the Delegation tab, check if ‘Trust this computer for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)’ is selected.
-Repeat this for all the servers in the SharePoint 2013 production farm.
3. Please let me know the SharePoint 2013 version. We recommend that you can upgrade to SharePoint 2013 SP1.

The context has expired and can no longer be used errors making farm unusable

There are a couple of other posts on this forum about the message "The context has expired and can no longer be used" but they all suggest something related to time and time zone differences. This is not the case in my farm and I have disabled
the security checking of requests on my web applications. Hopefully someone at Microsoft is very aware of this and is working to resolve it because my farm and many others are unusable like this.
I have dug through all of the ULS errors when it happens and there is nothing useful. It barely even registers as a message although, I have not turned on verbose logging, which I am about to try. I have SP 1 installed. Just to be clear, this is happening
on SharePoint 2013 Enterprise.
I have been fighting this for a month. I can add a few things about the farm I am trying to fix:
1. It was a WSS 3.0 farm that when through a 2007-2010-2013 migration in short order.
2. I believe it is under-powered on the hardware side. All VMs on a host shared with 40 other VMs, some fairly busy. Here's the virtual farm breakdown:
-1 WFE with 12GB RAM and 2 cores
-3 app servers with similar resources
-No paging file on C: on any VM. This is a decision by sysadmin. Paging on D: is system managed. Probably irrelevant.
3. Rapidly clicking from link to link seems to bring on the failure much sooner.
Any suggestions even about how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.

Ultimately, I think it is a time sync issue across the farm. We still have request management off on all boxes because I cannot get the admins to resolve this issue but, in my lab environment I ran into a similar thing.
I may turn RM back on later to see if it comes back but here's what I think happens: In production we have 2 ESXi hosts and our SP environment is all AD (of course). The clocks are all out of sync, sometimes beyond 5 minutes. (The time sync for AD is something
I believe a lot of admins don't understand when running virtual.)
If you allow ESXi to try to sync the time for all guests you run into problems. Maybe they are more pronounced with SharePoint. Anyway, VMware and AD start fighting over the time (check your event logs) and, for us, the clocks across the domain get out of
sync beyond the 5 minute allowable window.
I recommend disabling time sync from host to guest and do what MS recommends: make your domain controller the master time server and configure it to get its time from a reliable source (which can be a single hardware host over NTP). Make other domain controllers
sync from the PDC. The other windows machines will all sync to the domain when they log in. This will prevent SharePoint from issuing tokens from one machine that are out of sync time-wise with the other machines and thus throwing the "Context has expired
and can no longer be used" errors.
Note that disabling host to guest time sync is not as simple as just clearing / un-checking the box in the VSphere client. That doesn't do it. You will need to Google for the 6 or so custom properties you must add to each guest to prevent VMWare from re-synchronizing
after certain hardware events.

The Context has expired and can no longer be used error

Hello All,
I am getting ‘The context has expired and can no longer be used.’ error.
The last thing that was modified on the farm was Distributed Cache Service.
We stopped it on the application server and only have it run on the two WFE’s servers.
Also the cache size was changed to 2048MB.
Is it possible that this change is causing the error?
We don’t have ‘Default Time Zone’ selected for the web application.
But we never saw this error till now.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Zabcia

Hi Zabcia,
Thanks for posting this issue,
following could be the reason of raising this issue
1. Security context of your session might be expired
2. Somebody/you might have change the data time of your server.
you can follow below mentioned steps to fix this issue
Just change/update the Date/Time in the SharePoint server
Increase the Security context in SharePoint central admin. This can be done by following the below steps:
Go to central admin
Go to "Application management section" Go to "Web Application General Settings"
Go to "Web page Security validation" section & increase the timeout field. Or, you can simply disable this option.
I hope this is helpful to you, mark it as Helpful.
If this works, Please mark it as Answered.

1)check datetime servers --> I checked datetime for all SP Severs ,DB server and AD server ..there is no problem
2)Disabled the WebPageSecurity Validation on CA>General Settings-->I tired and problem not solved
3) Reset IIS --> if I restart IIS problem solved but after 2-3 hours or anytime error comes again..

Hi Veli,
Please check the security token timeout value and it is set to 1440 as expected by default. You can check via running the command:
stsadm -o getproperty -pn token-timeout
Then check the OOB recycle times of the probkematic web application pool, and add daily recycle times for the problematic web application pool. You can do as the article:

The context has expired and can no longer be used

I am running across a repeatable error when accessing a specific Site Collection. EVERY TIME the SC is loaded we receive the error 'The context has expired and can no longer be used'.
I have already validated the SharePoint servers' time zones are all the same and match the web application(s), as well as set the 'Web
page Security validation' to "Off".
What else could I be missing? Could this have anything to do with Distributed Cache?

Hi,
We just began to have the same error. The servers are also correctly set for the timezone (UTC) as well as the Web Applications.
The error happens for every site collections, there isn't a specific site where I'm able to reproduce the issue.

The context has expired and can no longer be used. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090317)

We have a problem with our wiki site collection. Once a day (and sometimes more), we get the following error message :
The context has expired and can no longer be used. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090317)
This message is displayed to everyone, and will stay there for an hour or so before the collection is back to life.
Doing an iisreset would get the site working but that will last for a day at the most.
This is what we checked and tried so far :
1. Our time zones are set and are correct.
2. Changing the timeout or disabling the web page security validation (followed by an iisreset) didn't work.
3. All server use the same NTP server for time sync (and they are indeed in sync).
4. It is happening only on the wiki collection, not the other collections.
5. We are unable to reproduce the behavior on the staging servers.
Some particularities :
1. Regional settings are set to French (Canada)
2. We have 500+ wiki pages in the site collection
3. We require page check-out / check-in for editing. Tried without, same problem.
Any ideas as to what should we try next ?

Hi,
I don't think we have changed them from the default, a quick look shows ours are set to:
Token-timeout = 24hrs
FormsTokenLifetime = 10hrs
WindowsTokenLifetime = 10hrs
LogonTokenCacheExpirationWindow = 10m

I got a error(The Content has expired and can no longer be used)

Hi,
I built a SharePoint 2013 Farm.
Infrastructure composition is:
・WebFrontEnd Server * 2(Web#1,Web#2)
・Application Server * 1
・SQL Server * 1
・OfficeWebApps Server * 1
・etc(DPM,AD,DocAve)
Site composition is:
・Community Site(Customize Site)
・Enterprise Search Center
After that, I added a WebWebFrontEnd Server(Web#3) to the SharePoint Farm.
So, I had a trouble.
The Enterprise Search Center had not been able to displayed in Web#1 and Web#2.
But, Web#3 is displayed Enterprise Search Center.
When The Enterprise Search Center had not been able to displayed, I get a error message.(The context has expired and can no longer be used. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×80090317))
Does Anyone have the same trouble?
Thanks,
Tomohiro

Your Voucher has been suspended and can no longer be used !!?

Hi guys,
I have purshased 2 vouchers for 2 Java exams it's been a while, they have both expiration date at 31-AUG-2013 , lately when I tried to apply them for my exam at PearsonVue a message appears and tells me that "the voucher is SUSPENDED and can no longer be used"
I don't understand what is going on and they dont even tell why it is suspended
is there something I can do about it? thanks in advance
- Kacem

I'm pretty sure that for this situation, you'll need to contact Oracle Certification Support Oracle University - Support Form. If it is the issue that I suspect, Oracle Certification Support will need to assist. Please provide the voucher numbers when you contact Oracle, they will need to know the voucher numbers and any purchase info you have - where did you purchase, how did you pay, can you provide a receipt?

Set Contribute up on site and can no longer connect using Dreamweaver

Today I set up Contribute to be used on my site so that somebody else could make minor changes on their computer. But the next time I tried to make changes using Dreamweaver on my computer I got the message "An FTP error ocurred - cannot make connection to host. Your login and password is incorrent. Please check your connection information." I know the ftp log in info is correct because it was what I used with Contribute. I have tried toogling some of the different settings, including enabling Contribute compatibility, but nothing has worked. Any ideas on what could be the problem? Thanks!

Just to get our bearings:
Mac or PC?
Which version of DW? Which version of Contribute?

Switched from IE8 today and can no longer print Fed Ex shipping labels. Fed Ex help desk says its a Firefox problem and they are unaware of a fix.

We used IE 8 at work, with a Vista 32bit O/S. We switched to Firefox today, and can no longer print using our Fed Ex shipping printer, through FedEx.com. If we switch back to IE8, we can print labels.

Does the label appear in File > Print Preview, and it just won't print? <br />
Do you have the correct size "paper" selected thru Properties for that printer when viewed thru Firefox? <br />
See if anything here helps: <br />
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages
If that doesn't help you, I don't know what else to recommend. Without being able to login to FedEx and without access to their printer, there isn't anything I can do to see what the problem with Firefox and their printer might be.
IMO, FedEX should either tell you that their printer software is made to work to IE only or not. Considering that they are a worldwide company and that Firefox has like a 30% worldwide market share, they might be disappointing like 30% of their customers with vague help responses like that. Plus, IE is for Windows OS's, what are their customers running Mac OSX or Linux supposed to do if it doesn't work in Firefox?

HT5312 Hi, i'm forget answer for may security questions for Apple ID and can't reset it

HI. i'm forget answer for may security questions for Apple ID and can't reset it, after verified email adress the link for reset questions is not available.

The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - if you've just added an address then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, which is a different setting/address on your account (a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your questions).
You will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use
