ULS Log viewer found this message in the logs:

Error while executing web part: Microsoft.BusinessData.Infrastructure.BdcException: The shim execution failed unexpectedly – Unable to obtain the application proxy for the context.. —> Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService.Server.SecureStoreServiceException: Unable to obtain the application proxy for the context.

Solution:

The web application is not associated with the secure store service application.

  • Go to SharePoint Central Administration site
  • Application management >> Click on Configure service application associations under Service Applications.
  • select the web application in which your site exist, Check the “Application proxy group” column >> Make sure the BDC and secure store service applications check boxes checked.

SharePoint sites not opening locally IIS Error

I am having this strange problem . All of a sudden all of the new sites created in the SharePoint are not opening locally. And even iis is failing to pick up the ip binding with a site. All my existing sites when browsed from IIS manager are giving certificate error and ultimately showing connection problem error. Only thing that was done was the patching this week. I have no idea why all this is happening. Has any one faced similar problems before.

Solution :

  • try stopping the Foundation Web service on the affected farm member and re-starting it.

  • If you were adding SSL certs to the IIS sites, it may be a case of attempting to use the same IP with different SSL certificates across IIS web sites.  IIS 7.5 and below do not support SNI, so you have to have a unique IP:SSL Cert combination, or get a Wildcard or SAN certificate instead.
