BizTalk WCF-WebHttp Adapter SQL Exception

Question

I have created a WCF-Webhttp adapter in BizTalk Server 2020 and a receive location. When trying to make a request towards the endpoint I get the following error. Looks like BizTalk WCF adapter is not able to authenticate to the SQL server instance. Any clues where this connection can be configured?

WebHost failed to process a request.

Answer 1

It looks as though the account running the host instance doesn't have the appropriate database permissions to read the adapter configuration.

First of all, make sure that the account is added to the BizTalk Application Users (if a BizTalk host) or the BizTalk Isolated Host Users (if an isolated host) group. This should grant all necessary permissions; unless the group or the BizTalk Management or MessageBox Databases have been tampered with.

This documentation describes the built-in Windows groups expected by default by BizTalk Server. It is possible to customise the groups expected by BizTalk away from the defaults, so you can run the BizTalk Configuration Wizard and choose Custom Configuration to check what has been configured.
