The Security Token Service is not available -- SP Server on Windows 7

I just installed SharePoint Server 2010 on a Windows 7 workstation with the aim of setting up a development environment.
Installed all the prerequisites, then SP, everything seemed to go smoothly.
However, the Health Analyzer is warning my that "the Security Token Service is not available". It says that the "Administrator should try to restart the Security Token Service"
I looked under Services for my computer and also looked in IIS, did not see any thing that referenced security tokens. Where would I find the security token service?
Thanks.

No.
In Central Admin>Application Management>Manage Service Applications I see the
Security Token Service Application is running. But the health analyzer is still saying that
The Security Token Service is not available.
Any advice on resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

The Security Token Service is not available error on dedicated Distributed Cache server

I have an error on a dedicated Distributed Cache server stating that the Security Token Service is not available. I was under the impression that when Distributed Cache was running on a dedicated server that the only service that should be enabled
is Distributed Cache.
The token service is working as expected on all other servers but this one. Does this service need to be started or should I just ignore this error message?
Jennifer Knight (MCITP, MCPD)

as per my little experience with 2013, if STS is working fine on Web server then I am sure that sharepoint will be fine...Distributed cache stores the ST issued by STS. NO need to worry about this error.
Login
Token Cache
DistributedLogonTokenCache
This
cache stores the security token issued by a Secure Token Service for use by any web server in the server farm. Any web server that receives a request for resources can access the security token from the cache, authenticate the user, and provide access to the
resources requested.
I would say check the ULS logs and get more details about the error why its not working on that server.

Security Token Service application not working

Trying to use secure store service to access userprofileservice.asmx methods within Infopath 2010 form(doesn't contain any managed code). Created tareget application and using udcx file within the data connection library according to Microsoft tech articles.
I see errors related to accessing securitytokenservice application.It keeps on erroring out within the ULS logs, something like below

When i browse to
http://localhost:32843/SecurityTokenServiceApplication i see HTTP 404 error.
It is same with other services under SharePoint Web Services Site within IIS.
I see the same HTTP 404 error. The Security Token Service application pool is running.
I'm trying to make this work within my development envirnoment and i don't see the security token service application
working in my Production or test environment either. I have a standalone installation on my personal laptop and i don't see these things working there as well. If i had web.config file of a working Security token service application then i could have compared
that with the web.config on my developement box. This is the only thing i missed out on.
I'm kind of stuck with this since last one week and any help is appreciated.

thanks Henrik.
Farm Servers already have WCF Hotfix (976462) and I also checked the STS authentication settings in IIS. Only windows and Anonymous access is enabled. I did make the change(Authentication mode of spStsActAsBinding to IssuedToken, it was SspiNegotiatedOverTransport) that
is suggested in the link you provided. But no luck. My STS web.config has below membership and role providers
<system.web>
    <membership>
      <providers>
        <add connectionStringName="DevSQLConn"
applicationName="/"

Does this have to do anything with my issue. I think at some point they might have configured to use form based authentication.

DNS The Zone cannot be deleted - the active directory service is not available

I have installed the Blackberry desktop software and my new Curve 9300 connects and preforms the feature of syncing with my Outlook 2010 and does the backup and does the software upgrades for my phone. The one thing i cannot seem go get to happen is the media sync. The card is installed and under the option the card is enabled and sees the 2GIG therefore i assume the mass storage mode is turned on since both check boxes are enabled at the top of STORAGE in OPTIONS.
What can I do about this? I have just about spent my entire day reading thru the net trying to get differnt takes on the problem but at this point before i have installed and uninstalled to the point of creating havoc on my laptop i would just like to know a direction to take. Also if this matter or not when the phone is plug in thru the USB cable and in "My Computer" I do not see the 2Gig Card listed as a drive or anything like that.

XML-RPC Service is not available

I'm experiencing a problem where CF 8.01 will not start. the log shows the message "The XML-RPC service is not available. This exception is usually caused by service startup failure. Check your server configuration."
I traced this to a corrupted /lib/neo-xmlrpc.xml file; the structures being generated when I consume a local web service are malformed. If I reinitialize this file to its form as created when CF is installed, CF will start.
Below is an example of the corrupted structure:
<wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/><data><array length='3'><struct type='coldfusion.server.ConfigMap'><var name='http:// 123.123.123.2<char code='0d'/><char code='0d'/><char code='0a'/> /common/verifyUser.cfc?wsdl'><string>http:// 123.123.123.2<char code='0d'/><char code='0d'/><char code='0a'/> /common/verifyUser.cfc?wsdl</string></var></struct><struct type='coldfusion.server.ConfigMap'><var name='http:// 123.123.123.2<char code='0d'/><char code='0d'/><char code='0a'/> /common/verifyUser.cfc?wsdl'><string></string></var></struct><struct type='coldfusion.server.ConfigMap'><var name='http:// 123.123.123.2<char code='0d'/><char code='0d'/><char code='0a'/> /common/verifyUser.cfc?wsdl'><string></string></var></struct></array></data></wddxPacket>
The corruption is occurring on my developer installation on a windows xp machine. If I execute the same code on my standard server edition running on Windows Server, the structure for the same verifyUser web service looks like this:
<var name='http://123.123.123.1/common/verifyUser.cfc?wsdl'><string></string></var>
On both machines I'm running CF version 8,0,1,195765 with updates chf8010003.jar and hf801-1875.jar.
Has anyone else seen this or have any ideas on how to correct?

You're right. Here's what was happening:
My cfinvoke included webservice="http://#APPLICATION.server_ip_address#/common/verifyUser.cfc?wsdl". I was using the same code to extract the IP address, but different operating systems. So when I populated APPLICATION.server_ip_address without trimming, I was getting extraneous trailing garbage on the XP server version.
Thanks.

Security Token Service Application Pool high CPU

The SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool seems to be using really high CPU at times and it seems to slow down the servercausing spike to almost 100% CPU, recycling takes care of it temporarily, it will also go down on its own but to a lesser extent.
I cant seem to see any cause of this in the logs.
The Security Token Service Application Pool isnt on a recycle schedule by default.
Does anyone recommend putting it on a recycle schedule?
What are some common causes of it
thanks
themush

Hi,
As I understand, the SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool caused high CPU usage in your envrionment.
Would recycling the application pool be help?
To check if there is performance issue, please provide more information about your application server which host this service application.

Web Service on JCS13.2: InvalidSecurityToken : The security token is not valid.

Hi,
I deployed a web service with the security policy @SecurityPolicy(uri = "oracle/wss_username_token_over_ssl_service_policy"). The WSDL file looks fine
But when I test it with SOAPUI and JDeveloper HTTP Analyzer, It always throws, InvalidSecurityToken : The security token is not valid.
The Web Service code is as below,
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import weblogic.wsee.jws.jaxws.owsm.SecurityPolicies;
import weblogic.wsee.jws.jaxws.owsm.SecurityPolicy;
@WebService
@SecurityPolicy(uri = "oracle/wss_username_token_over_ssl_service_policy")
public class HelloWorld {
    public HelloWorld() {
        super();
    @WebMethod
    public String sayHi( String name ){
        return "Hello, " + name ;
What's the valid username and password for the web service deployed on JCS? Any suggestion and help is highly appreciated.

The SOAP request payload from SOAP UI is:

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.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSecurityContext.SecurityTokenForServiceContext(Uri contextUri) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPChannelFactoryOperations.InternalCreateChannelActingAsLoggedOnUser[TChannel](ChannelFactory`1 factory, EndpointAddress
address, Uri via) at Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService.Server.SecureStoreServiceApplicationProxy.GetChannel(Uri address) at Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService.Server.SecureStoreServiceApplicationProxy.Execute[T](String operationName,
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

Errors with SharePoint Security Token Service: "The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate"

I'm getting these errors in the eventlog and ULS, "An operation failed because the following certificate has validation errors:\n\nSubject Name: CN=SharePoint Security Token Service, OU=SharePoint, O=Microsoft, C=US\nIssuer Name: CN=SharePoint Root
Authority, OU=SharePoint, O=Microsoft, C=US\nThumbprint: <STS CERTIFICATE THUMBPRINT>\n\nErrors:\n\n RevocationStatusUnknown: The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate."
The errors point to the SharePoint Security Token Service as the issue ("The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate") reported back by the Topology service. This is apparent when executing a search, accessing
the managed metadata service, issuing SPSite commands in Powershell, or anything that needs to run through the "SharePoint Web Services" site. I've looked at the certificate assigned to that site and everything appears to be in order.
It would seem to me to be either an incorrect endpoint configuration (internally cached perhaps?) or related to security access for the configuration database (in order to validate the certificate root).
What I’ve tried so far:
I’ve been all over the certificate settings, both in the server store, and within SharePoint Token Service config. Both appear to be configured correctly such that the root CAs can be validated.
Re-entered the passwords for the application pool domain accounts to eliminate these as a potential cause. I’ve also verified the service accounts reporting the error, do have access to the configuration database.
Re-provisioned the STS service to see if that might clear out any cached issues and validated everything else according to this
MS Tech note.
So far nothing has worked. Is there anything else I could be looking at that I've missed? (Full eventlog detail below)

Hi Darren,
This problem seems to occur when an administrator deletes the local trust relationship of the farm from the Security section of the Central Administration website
In order to resolve this problem, the local trust relationship has to be created. This can be done by running the following PowerShell commands
$rootCert = (Get-SPCertificateAuthority).RootCertificate
New-SPTrustedRootAuthority -Name "localNew" -Certificate $rootCert
After running the above commands, perform an IISReset on all servers in the farm.

Export/Import Error: The security token could not be authenticated

We currently are working in PLM 6.1.1 and users are experiencing Export/Import Issues, the error appears frequently with several users.
Steps:
1. A new token is generated from our QA environment
2. The user logs into Dev and transfers the token
3. In the export ADMIN area the user selects a section
4. In the QA environment the user schedules the import
5. The import is scheduled however the error is received after a few mins

This is likely a DRL issue. verify DRL is configured correctly and a valid PLM4P user is setup in the setup assistant. in addition, make sure you added the new app in IIS for DRLService (this is a doc bug we are correcting that we failed to include in the 611 guide). verify you can attach and then open an attachment on a material spec.

I have tried EVERYTHING (well, nt everything, I don’t have the fix I suppose).
I found plenty out there and nothing directly correlates with this issue.
I searched on all parts of the errors I got.
This contains an interesting blurb about setting up access for the apppool id correctly.
That’s not the case for me. It works in dev and the same id are used there.

This was good but it doesn’t give specs on what the environment looks like:

The was interesting…but I am patched up beyond the June 2011 CU so it’s a moot point:

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi.
You say its a multiserver farm, do you have more than one web server then?
If thats the case, have you tried accessing the site on each server directly?
Found this for you, maybe that can help?
