Access denied in Computer Search

Hi all,

After installing SLM 8.2.05 several of our users get an error message when they want to Search for computers in Computers category.
A "Bad request" panel appears and then they only can see the information "... unsufficient access rights ..."

I recycled the IIS application page, started iisreset in commandline and restarted the SLM application server.

Some users also restarted their computer. But this didn't help.
For some users it helped to use another browser, but not for all and so there are still some users that cannot use the Computer Search.

Does anyone have the same experience and perhaps has an suggestion how this can be solved?

Correct Answer

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know our final solution.

As mentioned we have a lot of users, and our external companies have to access SLM by using a separate logon through an additional firewall. Snow changed in SLM 8.2.05 some requests, that were now blocked by that firewall.

For that users, deleting the browser cache was not enough, we needed to add firewall rules.

But in general for our internal users deleting the browser cache helped.

Many thanks to all for your quick support

Hi Carola,

thank you for your post. This is a known bug in Snow License Manager 8.2.4, which will be resolved as soon as possible. For me, cleaning up the browser cache the cache in the Administration tab helped.

@Others: If you like to recycle your IIS application, you can do this here:

If this doesn't help, please raise a ticket referring to KB0017204. Please write this in the headline of your ticket.

Hi Marcel! We experienced this today, and resolved it by clearing out the cache in the browser.

Regarding your reply: I can't see your screenshot - it looks like this (I've seen this issue with some of Myrja Schumachers posts previously):

Hi Jonas,

glad to hear, you could resolve the case by yourself.

I re-posted the picture. You should be able to see the screenshot right now.

Hi all,

Thanks for your answers,

Unfortunately clearing the cache in administration does not help.
We have around 80 users, who work with SLM and they don't have access to the administration page. Only some administrators.

I also asked our users to clear the local browser cache
For example Internet Explorer -> Settings -> Internet Options -> Delete Temporary Internet ...
Another user cleared the cache in Chrome.
For some users that helped, but for most it didn't.

I also raised a ticket without any response yet and thought perhaps the community can help.

Hi Carola, I found that I could logon using IE without issues and use the search but in chrome is where we had the issues. try clearing cached image files from chrome.

Thank you very much Benn,

I forwarded this to our Chrome users, wait for their response and will let you know if that helped.

I also had that problem yesterday in IE, and I for myself could solve it with closing all open IE Windows.

So I cannot reproduce it any more.

After you all wrote, clearing the cache helped we checked this again in IE.
We found in IE, that it is important to checkmark not all possibilities.

My colleague needed to remove the checkmark for "Keep preferred Websites" (Sorry, I only can add a German screenshot and need to translate)

After again removing the cache with these settings, it was possible in IE to start the Computer Search.

So thanks for your help, I'm now sure that it's the local browser and no central setting.
And I will keep you posted on the results with Chrome and Firefox.
