Timeout While Expanding Sitecore Security Provider

Symptoms

• Your secured items are not searchable.

• In the Index Browser, the secured items have nothing in their effective combined permissions.

• In the CES Console or System logs, you see the following error:

  Permission 11111111111111111111111111111111111111 needs update because Allowed sid 111111 has not been updated once yet
  

Cause

The coveo_sitecoreadministrators group is very large and cannot expand within the allowed 5 minutes.

Resolution

Change the MaxAllowedTimeWithoutProgress on the Sitecore Security Provider to something higher. The default is 300 seconds, which is about 5 minutes.

1. Open the Coveo Administration Tool.
2. Navigate to Configuration > Security >Security Provider >[Sitecore Security Provider on Your Server]
3. In the Parameters section:
   1. If parameter MaxAllowedTimeWithoutProgress exists, enter a value high enough to cover the security expansion time.
   2. If parameter MaxAllowedTimeWithoutProgress does not exist:
      1. Click Add Parameter.
      2. In the Name column, enter MaxAllowedTimeWithoutProgress.
      3. In the Value column, enter a value high enough to cover the security expansion time.
4. Click Apply Changes.
