Sitecore 9 xconnect error: Sitecore.XConnect.XdbCollectionUnavailableException, Forbidden

5.6k Views Asked by At

The xdb features in our Sitecore 9 installation are not working. I get this error in the Sitecore logs:

Exception: Sitecore.XConnect.XdbCollectionUnavailableException Message: The HTTP response was not successful: Forbidden

IIS log shows this is a 403.16 exception. I've found various solutions saying this relates to a certificate issue, but none of the solutions have worked for me.

I see two certificates in the "Personal"(My) store with the name indicated in the Sitecore install scripts, on has "_client" appended to it. In the ConnectionStrings.config, all certs referenced show the thumbprint of only the first cert.

Any thoughts on why I get this error?
