Last night our IT team pushed a bunch of patches that seemed harmless, but this morning we're having severe permissions issues. They didn't do a backup before pushing the patches, so I'm stuck putting out all the fires.

Here are the two SharePoint Patches that were installed.

Security Update for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 (KB3115117) farm-deployment

Security Update for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 (KB3114871) farm-deployment

Examples of what I'm seeing (problems that did not exist prior to the server updates)

  • List items that can't be opened (Access Denied errors)
  • Top navigation menu missing links (tried to add them back and it won't save)

What I've tried so far.

IISReset Rebooting the Server

I'm seeing a lot of this in ULS.

I see the following when opening an item in a Library that i have access.

  • These two updates don't have anything to do with the base SharePoint binaries nor do they update SharePoint Content Database schemas, so the updates themselves are likely unrelated to the issue you're experiencing. What do the ULS logs show when you get these access denied errors?

  • Have you looked at the steps in technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/jj906556.aspx (this is for SharePoint 2013, but the steps should be the same)?

  • I opened a ticket with Microsoft and they don't even know what the problem is. We confirmed that the data is fine by creating a new web app and importing one of the problem list. So the web app has corrupted permissions...just don't know how to fix it. I have way too many custom solutions to even consider migrating to a new web app though.

Reset to default
0

Eureka! I figured it out!

Apparently claims expiration needed to be set to a lower time window. I don't understand why a bunch of Microsoft patches would require that but apparently SharePoint was having an issue verifying my permissions with AD.

I ran the following commands from the link below.

Command Prompt:

stsadm.exe -o setproperty -propertyname token-timeout -propertyvalue 2

PowerShell:

$sts = Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig
$sts.FormsTokenLifetime = (New-TimeSpan -minutes 2)
$sts.WindowsTokenLifetime = (New-TimeSpan -minutes 2)
$sts.LogonTokenCacheExpirationWindow = (New-TimeSpan -minutes 1)
$sts.Update()

Command Prompt:

iisreset

Now I just need to figure out:

  1. What beer to pick up tonight so I can celebrate the fact that I found a solution before Microsoft could
  2. When I should revert these settings back to their default. Any ideas???
