I am encountering an intermittent 403 error going from my company’s Intranet home page to the company My Site root site–which has the employee directory in a webpart.
But if I, or an employee hits F5, the root My Site comes up.
The 403 event does not show when I Â have Fiddler running, also tried ProcMon. Nothing in Event Viewer and ULS Logs have had little information.
I have verified permissions in the BIN folder for both the Intranet webapp and the MySite webapp. I also checked the hidden taxonomy table.
One ULS entry pointed to access denied to a Team Foundation folder, but I fixed that as well.
Any ideas?Â
Use Set-SPLogLevel -TraceSeverity VerboseEx -Identity General. Reproduce the error and check what the permission mask is (look for “PermissionMask check failed”). Run Clear-SPLogLevel after you’ve identified the mask. Feel free to post it back here if you need help decoding the requirements.
Also, what form of auth are you using (Windows, SAML, FBA)?
