Search issue caused by Secure Store Service Sporadic Failures

I am running into a fun issue. I am getting a lot of errors in my search crawl logs that say the following:
The crawler could not communicate with the server. Check that the server is available and that the firewall access is configured correctly.
And
The filtering process has been terminated
And
An unrecognized HTTP response was received when attempting to crawl this item. Verify whether the item can be accessed using your browser. ( Error from SharePoint site: WebExceptionStatus TrustFailure The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. )
And finally,
The SharePoint item being crawled returned an error when requesting data from the web service. ( Error from SharePoint site )
The thing is, I still get most of the results. Probably 3/4ths of the pages and external content are crawled. These happen sporadically. I believe it to be caused by a spotty secure store service.
When I try to manage the secure store service, sometimes the page loads. Other times it says:
Cannot complete this action as the Secure Store Shared Service is not responding. Please contact your administrator
If I refresh the page a couple times, it comes back up. I believe this constant up and down is causing issues. I have tried the following to resolve this:
IIS resets on all servers
Restarting individual app pools on all servers
Making sure the correct services were running on all servers, and restarting them
Restarting the servers
Creating a new secure store service is not an option, as the custom software running on the environment requires it heavily, and rebuilding all the credentials is a huge pain. If this were not a live environment, it would be worth it. However, this IS a
live site.
Has anyone else seen a spotty SSS like this one?

You may be right, and these two could be unrelated, or both be caused by some underlying environmental issue (quite possible). The Secure Store Service is indeed used when indexing. I'm not logged into the servers right now, but when crawling
the external content source, the errors are about the secure store service.
I've set fiddler as a proxy on search and watched the crawls. I'll have to review those again to find the response, but I believe the errors were all authentication-related.
I'll probably spend my day today going through logs and report back.

Create a new target application - Secure Store Service administration issues

Hi,
I am trying to create new target application, when I go to Secure Store Service in Centra admin I have:
Cannot complete this action as the Secure Store Shared Service is not responding. Please contact your administrator.
I have used this few days ago and avarything else is working fine on the server, and I have applications created with it running fine.
Any help is appreciated.
cheers
Valko

I know this has been open and possibly answered for a while but I thought I would mention what I ran into since I haven't found it posted anywhere.
It was confusing because once I clicked the Ssecure Store Service I recieved the message that is mentioned here in this thread. With that, you can't make any changes. After trying numerous things I simply highlighted the Secure Store Service (the Applicaiont
not the Application Proxy) and selected Properties from the Operations section of the ribbon at the top of the page. This opened the properties page where I was able to change the Application Pool that the service was using.
In my case it was using the Sharepoint Web Services Default and changing it to the SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool, which I had already configured to run on a named account with adequate priveleges (although it should run find on Local or Network
Service if they are configured correctly in IIS) corrected the issue.
Hope this helps someone...
Cheers

The Secure Store Service application Secure Store Service Proxy is not accessible

I am working on setting up a new SharePoint 2013 Farm for our external web site which is currently running on 2010 SharePoint. Because this is an External Website for our organization we have an internally available Publishing Site and there is an Web App
Extension to provide Anon Access to users using the www address. Currently I am doing everything on a single server for testing with HOSTS entries to loop back so I can test with real host headers and not impact the 2010 prod environment. We will be setting
up 2 more WFEs with a NLB before moving this into prod but it isn't there yet. We brought the Site Collection Databases over but are still running in 2010 mode for now.
I migrated a copy of the Secure Store Database over from 2010 and had it put on the 2013 Farm's Database Server. Set up Secure Store and the Secure Store Proxy. I went into the Secure Store Proxy in CA and refreshed the Key with the proper Pass Phrase. After
doing that I could see the Target Application IDs listed. Everything was looking good so I went off to test. If I am on the publishing site I can go to a page that has the solution on it and it operates as expected. It does a query to a non SharePoint database
and returns information filtered based on the search parameters. The only odd thing I see is if I click on the "Site Actions" I get a message "An error has occurred with the data fetch. Please refresh page and retry." Need to look into
that more but it only happens on pages that have these solutions. Maybe a clue. If I go to the Anonymous Access page (www......) and try and use the solution, it immediately (way too quick to appear like it is doing anything) comes back with "The security
token request cannot be completed."
If I dig through the usage logs I am finding the following.
The Secure Store Service application Secure Store Service Proxy is not accessible. The full exception text is: The security token request cannot be completed.
Unexpected exception from endpoint address : https://[Servername]:32844/4e87fd3aabb640fb8cc3ed52188cf5c0/SecureStoreService.svc/https
Logging unknown/unexpected client side exception: InvalidOperationException. This will cause this application server to be removed from the load balancer queue. Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The security token request cannot be completed.

Boolean validateCanary, ExecuteDelegate`1 operation).
Initially I was fighting a firewall issue because it wasn't working (different errors) on both sides. Had Network Engineers open firewall ports needed and now it works on the publishing side. Still the same error on the Anon side. I suspect I have missed
something when it comes to configuring the Secure Store to allow access to anonymous connections.
Let me know if you need any more information but that should paint a pretty good picture as to how things are set up.
Thanks for any help on this one. Searches haven't found much that has helped so far.

Hi Sennister,
I recommend to verify the things below:
Did this issue occur with all the pages in the anonymous side?
Check if the Claims to Windows Token Service is started.
Change the <identity impersonate="true" /> in the web.config to see if the issue still occurs.
Thanks,
Victoria

Error with Secure Store Service

Hi - I sure could use some help with an issue I'm having trying to configure the Secure Store Service in SharePoint 2010.
I'm using SharePoint Server 2010 and this is the first time that I've installed and trying to configure. When I try to generate a key for the Secure Store Service App, I get this error: "Cannot complete this action as the Secure Store Shared Service is not
responding. Please contact your Administrator."
I also see an error in the Event Viewer: "The Secure Store Service application Secure Store Service App is not accessible. The full exception text is: Access is denied"
I have verified that the App Pool is using the correct domain acount and the database security allows this same acount as well. The account is DBO in the Secure Store databse. What else should I check that would cause access denied?
Thank you!
Kerry

I found when the error message dialog box has a phrase like "Additional information has been logged for your administrator" it means to check the Windows Event-Application log (not the SP correlation ID log). In my case, the specific domain\uid being
denied was mentioned in the error message details. I found that the domain\uid in that message was not in the SQL Server log in collection with permissions to the appropriate DBs. The Event-Application log also told me which DB object was being
denied. I set the account for dbo access to simplify my work (dbo is needed to run stored procedures and functions). Other attributes (other than dbo) may be sufficient and "more secure".

Secure Store Service Application takes a lot of time and does not create the database

Hi everybody,
I was trying to configure sharepoint performance point and I was following the instruction. After I created the performance point services application I tried to creat the secure store service application. When I do this, the progress window stays open forever
even after 2 hours. If I close the window, I will see that the secure store service and proxy app is created and the application pool also is created in IIS but the database is not and the application service is stopped. even when I want to delete it, it's
the same story and the progress window stays until I close it manually. Nothing has been logged in the event viewer because it doesn't throw any exceptions.
I don't think that I have permission issues on the database server side because I have created the performance point service app and the database is there. I have used the same credentials to crete the secure store.
I have restarted the secure store service and IIS for many times and even the server itself.
I'm wondering if anybody has had this issue because I couldn't find anything on the web.
Thanks,
Edwin

How to encrpt password for Secure store service while configuring by Windows powershell Script

To configure Secure store service, we have to mention user name and passowrd for generating key.
For this is password we are giving in plain text which is readable and also which is security violation as per company rules.
so i want to encript the password,so that no body can read and it is not against security violation.
so any body can tell me how to encrpt password while configuring secure store service using powershell command

Hi,
For your issue, you can encrypt the files using Encrypting File System. By this method, only the user that stores it can access the encrypted passwords.
For more information, you can refer to the thread:

Secure Store Services Configuration

Hi,
I wanted to ask for some more information on the topic. I have google'd and found informaiton here and there but nothing that I have found as a concise guide to its configuration "an idiots guide if you may"
If you found some information that you found particularly helpful I would like to read it. white papers etc...
Thank you for your time

HI Guys,
In Microsoft release management, we are having option to encrpt the password instead of giving plain text for a parameter.
I am very
excited to see this option in release management.But i am not able to hold this
Excitement for longer time.
I tried to use this option for one of our script nothing but "Secure Store Service".But when i am using this property for secure store powershell script,it is falling and encripted password is not accepted by powershell script.
Kindly let me know whether any body had faced this issue and kindly share your inputs.

Get Current UserName in Infopath always returns the secure store service credential name

I followed the 3 page tutorial here to get the current Display Name in an infopath textbox.https://spvee.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/auto-populate-user-information-in-infopath-with-claims-based-authentication-part-1-of-3/
After several tries I narrowed down the problem to something very specific.
It always shows the Display Name of the user used in the Credentials in the secure store service application. It doesnt use the current user.
I do have access to the farm, but I didnt not install it, so am not aware if something is wrong on IIS/App Pools or service applications.
Any idea??

The domain group that was specified the Secure Store Service ID ProjectServerApplication did not have any members in the group.
and please also have a try in a testing secure store service application:
Created new secure store service application with new target application ID. and added this ID in excel service application -----global settings----Application ID.

Error occurred while accessing application id Excel services application unattended service account from secure store service

Hi,
I follow up the book "Professional SharePoint 2013 Administration" to build the SharePoint 2013 BI include Excel Services. and created the Secure Store services to save the user SP_Install for member.
For Now, I can upload the worksheet and open it in browser, but when I tried to refresh it, the SP 2013 show error "Error occurred while accessing application id Excel services application unattended service account from secure store service".
does anybody can help ? and do I need to turn on C2WTS ?
Thanks
James Liang

Hi James,
Excel Services can be used with Secure Store in three primary scenarios:
Unattended Service Account
Embedded Connections
External Data Connections
If you haven't configure unattended service account yet, you could refer to the article below:

Problem when trying to actualize excel spreadsheet - Excel Service - Secure Store Service

Hello
I encoutner a strange problem in SharePoint 2013
when trying to actualize Datas into a spreadsheet Excel Web Service <- RMQ: Both Service & Application are started
The goal is to connect the Excel Web spreadsheet to a SSAS Cube.
I use an account "proxy" SharePoint Secure Store Service because people who
connect to sharepoint don't have acces to the olap Cube.
However, when updating data in SharePoint, I encounter the following problem:
An error has occurred while attempting to access the application ID AccesExcel
from the Secure Store Service. Failed to update the following connections: XXXXXXX
Information: For testing the SharePoint access account doesn't have access to OLAP
and Excel connection uses SSS account (which of course it access to olap cube free).
Where do you think the problem could coming from ?
It seems to me that the SECURE STORE SERVICE service is "unstable".
Sensitive to the memory RAM of the server ?
Thank you very much for your help

We export it from java servlet. But we used ReportExportFormat._MSExcel (which is constant value 2 defined in crystal report SDK) for excel export. As I looked at your code sample in JSP page, I changed the "Excel" value from 2 to 6 which is ReportExportFormat._recordToMSExcel as in the sample code
We have this code snippet to set the export options.     (No change)
             ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
             exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.from_int(exportType.getId()));
             exportOptions.setFormatOptions(formatOptions);
And now CRExportType enum is defined as below with value changed from 2 to 6 for Excel.
    WORD("Word",1),
    EXCEL("Excel",6),   //_recordToMSExcel; _MSExcel=2 didn't work with error UnsupportedFormatException
    RTF("RTF", 3), //_RTF
    PDF("PDF", 5); //_PDF
After the change, it did work. So I'm still not clear why _MSExcel didn't work and what's the difference between _MSExcel(2) and _recordToMSExcel (6). But I'm good for now and thanks for your help.

Secure Store Service and Schedule Data Refresh

Hi
Can you please let us know how many (max) target application's we can create under 1 secure store service application?
As we know, Manage Data Refresh feature is only available for PowerPivot Service Report and we can access it from Sharepoint to schedule the Workbook for Data Refresh.
As per our requirement, we need to build a interface to use this Schedule data refresh feature in a separate browser not from SharePoint. Please let us know how to build this interface, is there any option to use API Web Service.
Thanks in advance.
