When I create a new web application in SharePoint 2010 (Central Admin), using "Claim Based Authentication", I keep getting this HTTP 500 error. I have tried all the things I have read from various posts but none seem to resolve my issue. However, I did notice that when I create the web application using "Classic Mode Authentication", everything seems to work just fine.
Is there a reason why this is the case? Has anyone seen this issue in the past, and if so...could you please share the knowledge on what the cause is and what can be done to fix it?
Thanks a bunch.
