Message in event log: "The HTTP header ClientActivityId is not set or has an invalid GUID"

Posted on by Thorsten Kern 11
We are using Business Central 22.1. The event log very often contains the following message:

The HTTP header ClientActivityId is not set or has an invalid GUID. Cancellation cannot be registered.

Does anyone have any idea what could be the cause?
Can the message be ignored?

    Message in event log: "The HTTP header ClientActivityId is not set or has an invalid GUID"
    Hello,

    I have tried the suggested setting:

    Set-NavServerConfiguration -ServerInstance [Instance] -Keyname ADOpenIdMetadataLocation -Keyvalue "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/.well-known/openid-configuration"
    Restart-NAVServerInstance -ServerInstance [Instance]
     
    Unfortunately, the message is still written to the log.

    HI, how did you trigger the error? I have googled the same error; you can check if it can helpful.
    If the issue persists, please submit a SR to Microsoft for further investigation.
    Hope it helps.
     
    Best Regards,

    Hi Gerardo,

    Many thanks for your reply! I had already seen the two websites mentioned. However, as Google only lists a total of three search hits for the message (I rarely experience this), I wanted to get an additional opinion. I will carry out a test.

    Best regards,

    Thorsten

    Hi
    I hope this can  help you and give you some hints 
    The solution was there:
    "The ADOpenIDMetadataLocation key must have the value  https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/.well-known/openid-configuration  . Adjusting that value in the customsettings.config and restarting the service solved the problem."
    best regards
    Gerardo
