While setting up another client esync configuration tonight we ran into the following error. It appears right after you click to add an esync relationship, before getting references to any local security cerficates in the drop down:
The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel,
cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state.
Error generating security certificates.
Please make sure security configurator is run and security certificates
are properly configured.
After running through all the normal esync checklist items, I decided to check other setup areas, mainly the AssetServer table.
Keep in mind, the internal systems use this table to determine how to connect to the various servers that my be using a single database. So after clearing out ALL records (it's ok, they come back), the perform_action table (just to be sure), and restarting the Ektron Windows Services 3.0 (regenerates the records in these tables), we were aable to successfully run the esync web configuration wizard and start the esync process.
Chalk one up to hours and hours of troubleshooting and resolution for this one.
