Troubleshooting
Problem
When trying to add an Active Directory user to i2 iBase in iBase Designer, you get an error message "Configuration system failed to initialize"
Symptom
A .NET call stack is thrown:
System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Configuration system failed to initialize
---> System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unrecognized configuration section system.serviceModel. (C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Config\machine.config line 146)
at System.Configuration.ConfigurationSchemaErrors.ThrowIfErrors(Boolean ignoreLocal)
at System.Configuration.BaseConfigurationRecord.ThrowIfParseErrors(ConfigurationSchemaErrors schemaErrors)
at System.Configuration.BaseConfigurationRecord.ThrowIfInitErrors()
at System.Configuration.ClientConfigurationSystem.EnsureInit(String configKey)
---> System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unrecognized configuration section system.serviceModel. (C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Config\machine.config line 146)
at System.Configuration.ConfigurationSchemaErrors.ThrowIfErrors(Boolean ignoreLocal)
at System.Configuration.BaseConfigurationRecord.ThrowIfParseErrors(ConfigurationSchemaErrors schemaErrors)
at System.Configuration.BaseConfigurationRecord.ThrowIfInitErrors()
at System.Configuration.ClientConfigurationSystem.EnsureInit(String configKey)
Cause
The .NET Framework installed on the machine does not include any WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) modules.
WCF was introduced as part of .NET Framework 3.0.
iBase Designer uses WCF to communicate with the Domain Controller. If the .NET Framework on the machine does not include the WCF components, this error will appear.
Resolving The Problem
Install .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 onto the machine.
Then re-start iBase Designer.
