Verify that either the Default Content Access Account has access to this repository

Error

Access is denied. Verify that either the Default Content Access Account has access to this repository, or add a crawl rule to crawl this repository. If the repository being crawled is a SharePoint repository, verify that the account you are using has “Full Read” permissions on the SharePoint Web Application being crawled. ( HttpStatusCode Unauthorized The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. )

Reason

Due to the fully qualified domain name that it’s trying to crawl… it handles it with a loop back request.

Solution

1. Go to command window and type regedit.exe

2. Once opened the registry editor, just navigate to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa”

3. Right click on “Lsa” and create a new 32bit DWORD value

4. Rename it as “DisableLoopbackCheck” (Note: you cannot rename it actually. so, once created the DWORD value, directly paste/type as “DisableLoopbackCheck”.

5. Then again modify the value of “DisableLoopbackCheck” as “1″

6. Close the registry editor.

7. Now start to crawl the content.
