You receive a "Cannot generate SSPI context" error message when you access SharePoint Portal Server 2003 central administration
When you try to access the SharePoint Portal Server Central Administration page, you may receive the following error message:

- Expand ServerName, and then expand Application Pools.
- Right-click CentralAdminAppPool, and then click Properties.
- Click the Identity tab.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
