SharePoint 2010 Search Web Service returns "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation"

Turns out that the search service has problems when anonymous authetication is on. I have a custom tool to test my search, that connects to the search service and performs queries. Every time I tried to query the service I got this error.

I could not easily disable anonymous authetication on my server because we used it for some sites.

Ways to redirect http requests in SharePoint

Image
The are multiple szenarios when you need a redirect in SharePoint: You've migrated SharePoint into a new URL (e.g http://sp2010 to http://sp2013) You moved a site collection You moved a sub site into a new site collection If you want to redirect in SharePoint without custom solutions you have the following options: Redirect with XML Viewer or Content Editor WebPart You can redirect with JavaScript by inserting a WebPart into the site and adding simple JavaScript. This is easy to configure but redirects only the site in which the WebPart sits (Probably the Mainsite).

Open the WebPart settings and add the following line of code: <script type="text/javascript"> location.href = "<<the url you want to redirect>>"; </s...
