Hello

 

After installing Sharepoint 2013 on premise and Nintex Workflow and Nintex Forms 2013 and configuring it a bit I tried to publish a very simple workflow for a list in created site. It can be saved but when trying to publish following error occurs:

soap:ServerServer was unable to process request. ---> Failed to publish workflow: <Error><CompilerError Line="-1" Column="-1" Text="Type Nintex.Workflow.Activities.ReportingHeaderActivity is not marked as authorized in the application configuration file." /><CompilerError Line="-1" Column="-1" Text="Type Nintex.Workflow.Activities.SendMessageActivity is not marked as authorized in the application configuration file." /><CompilerError Line="-1" Column="-1" Text="Type Nintex.Workflow.Activities.ReportingFooterActivity is not marked as authorized in the application configuration file." /></Error>

My question is what I should add to which file (web.config I presume)?

Thanks in advance :)

In the central admin, go to the Nintex settings, and you will see "Web applications activation", and here you go.

Hi, 

 

I had a similar error: "Type Nintex.Workflow.Activities.ReportingHeaderActivity is not marked as authorized in the application configuration file." when publishing a simple Nintex Workflow with a log in history list workflow actions. 

 

I have fixed the issue by running the Add-CodeDomAuthorizedTypeToOWSTimerConfig.ps1 listed in the article below. It looks like I was missing some lines in the OWSTIMER.exe.config.

 

After installing .NET security patches to address CVE-2018-8421, SharePoint workflows stop working (KB 4457916/4457035 and others)
