Problem

When creating an Event/Hit Attribute from RTV/BBR the following error is raised:? Server Error in '/Portal' Application. A potentially dangerous Request. QueryString value was detected from the client.

Solution

The following article describes the request validation feature of ASP.NET: http://www.asp.net/whitepapers/request-validation

The fix is to add validateRequest=false to the pages directive defined in the Tealeaf\Portal\WebApp\Web.xml file:

Original Configuration:

<pages enableViewState="false" enableViewStateMac="true" viewStateEncryptionMode="Always" enableEventValidation="false" asyncTimeout="150" compilationMode="Auto" enableSessionState="true">
New Configuration:

<pages enableViewState="false" enableViewStateMac="true" viewStateEncryptionMode="Always" enableEventValidation="false" asyncTimeout="150" compilationMode="Auto" enableSessionState="true" validateRequest="false">
