Root Cause: Two Application pools are missing,

  • Identity
  • WebHooks.

Resolution :Create Identity and WebHooks application pool manually with No Managed Code as .Net CLR Version. Assigned the same user as Orchestrator Application pool.
  1. Open IIS manager.
  2. Select Application Pools
  3. Right click and select 'Add Application Pool'
  4. Set the following configuration.
  • Name: Identity
  • .Net CLR Version: No Managed Code
  1. Leave others as default settings
  2. Right click the created application pool and click 'Advanced Settings'
  3. Choose Identity and configure it to be a user account, if needed.
  4. Repeat steps 3 - 6 and create WebHooks, too.
  5. Restart the IIS.
