CRM2011 Hosted/IFD: 404 error after initial login RRS feed

    I installed CRM2011 on our datacenter with Claims based authentication.

    After initial login using the external url in the main frame it says: "404 - file or directory not found'.
    When you click on any link on the left side like dashboards or accounts, everything works fine.

    At first I thought it's the firewall.
    But then I noticed the initial url was wrong, it includes the organization "demo.domain.com:444/demo" where it should be "demo.domain.com:444".

    If I remember correctly, after initial installation everything worked fine.
    It seems to me it happened after rollup 2.
    I read somewhere that rollup 1 might fix it, but rollup 2 contains rollup 1 right?
    Also installed rollup 3, but that didn't fix it too and 1 funny detail: this update isn't shown in the windows updates list.

    If this is a bug, please solve it fast.
    How can we show this to our (potential) customers?

    I may be way off base here, but if you are using Claims authentication and not IFD, you may need to use a host name that does not resolve to an Organization. The Claims/IFD documentation specifies host names like dev, auth, and sts1 as examples. If you setup a generic host name like dev.domain.com, and then access CRM at https://dev.domain.com:444/demo what happens?

    Everything works fine and I didn't change anything.

    The only thing I can think off is that I did a server restart.

    Hi,

    I wonder if the an IIS reset would have fixed the issue after the initial configuration. That might be why the server restart fixed the problem?

    Whenever you configure claims and/or IFD, it is a good idea to run an IIS reset before attempting to use the application.

    Thanks,
    Michael

    Many people havce reported this issue. One theory is that it has to do wit hthe length of your Certificate Key:
