Resolve

Review the claim transform module setting

When you specify the dynamic-link library (DLL) file that the claim transform module will use to modify claims, make sure that the file path is valid and that the user has permission to access this file.

To review the file path that is specified for the claim transform module setting in the trust policy:

  1. On the federation server, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Federation Services.
  2. In the console tree, under Federation Service, right-click Trust Policy, and then click Properties.
  3. Click the Transform Module tab, and then review the file path that is specified in DLL file.

Verify
