Symptoms

We are deploying to a new test environment, but our attempts to configure this machine keep failing with the message 'Could not load file or assembly SourceCode.Security.UserRoleManager.Client.dll Access is denied'. I have been attempting to troubleshoot this for the better part of a day, to no avail. The file system permissions seem fine, and the configuration analysis only complains about that fact that MSMQ is not yet fully set up. Any attempt to modify user rights, however, fails with the aforementioned message.


"EnvironmentServer","15101","Generic","SourceCode.Runtime.Managment UpdateAdminusers stringg] names]]","15101 Error occurred", "ERROR: Could not load file or assembly 'SourceCode.Security.UserRoleManager.Client.dll or one of its dependencies. Access is denied"
 

Diagnoses

This access denied error was giving us the hit of authentication issues. After reviewing the settings. Kerberos was configured for the environment.
 

Resolution


The issue was caused by Kerberos not being configured correctly. After reinstalling K2 and rebooting the server we had an error when loading workspace. This lead us to an authentication issue as per the Access Denied errors. Changing the authentication from ClientKerberos to ClientWindows helped us to load workspace correctly and perform the deployment.
