- Remote into the upgraded web nodes.
- Open File Explorer.
- Navigate to the IIS top-level folder where the Privilege Vault folder is located, usually "C:\inetpub\wwwroot".
- Right-click on the Privilege Vault folder and click "Properties".
- Go to "Security" tab and then click "Edit".
- Click on the account that is running the Privilege Vault application pool.
- Check the "Modify" box in the Allow column and click "OK".
- Click "OK" again.
- Perform an iisreset. See the article for more information.
Additional information
Prior to Privilege Vault 11.8.x, the application shipped in a "dynamically compiled" state, which means that aspects of the website (primarily .aspx files) were compiled by IIS when the application received the first request:
This upgrade and future on-prem upgrades or fresh installs are pre-compiled. This means that application startup should be faster, as dynamic compilation is not required.
Pre-compiled applications cannot run in IIS if there is an "App_Code" folder. 11.8 automatically renames this folder on start-up to avoid issues, as long as the account running the application pool has the proper permissions.
