Can't Launch the Admin Tool

I can launch the web site successfully.

But when I try and launch the Admin tool, I get this error.

Linda:

Yes, you are correct. It was installed as part of the Server.

but now, when I try and open the Admin tool, I get this error.

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at VaultServiceAPILib.VaultServiceAPISystem.DoLogin(Boolean bAdminLogin, HttpApplicationState has, HttpSessionState hss, String strHostname, Boolean bUseFullFiles, String strLogin, String strPassword, String strRMKey, String& strAuthToken)
at VaultService.VaultAdminService.Login(String strHostname, Boolean bUseFullFiles, String username, String strEncryptedPassword, String strRMKey, String& strAuthToken)
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Can you assist?

Since I installed Vault on a Domain Controller, do I have to reboot the server? Note: I have not done this step.

Is there anything logged to the server log file when you get this error?

Your log file will be in the windows temp directory (%windir%\temp\sgvault\sgvault.log).

I fofund out why this error occurs.

Sharepoint, by dafualt, turns session off. This is done by the tab <clear />in the <httpModules> section.

So for VaultService web.config I added these lines and it works now.

<httpModules>
<add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule"/>
</httpModules>

Thanks
