Help Needed: SharePoint Error While Crawling LOB Contents – HTTP Status 401 Unauthorized

Hi everyone,

 

I'm stuck with an error in SharePoint and need some help. When I try to crawl content, I get this error:

 

Error while crawling LOB contents. Microsoft.BusinessData.Infrastructure.BdcException: The shim execution failed unexpectedly - System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. 

 

Error-While-Crawling-LOB-Contents-Sharepoint-Issue

 

Here's what I've tried:

  • Checked permissions in Business Data Connectivity.
  • Set application settings to use default credentials.
  • Looked into possible network/firewall issues.
  • Searched SharePoint logs for more info.

But nothing's worked. Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

Thanks a lot!
