System.ServiceModel.Security.SecuritySessionClientSettings error

jelliston

We have 18 instances of Orion in our enterprise with a very heavy dependence on automation via the API.

I am seeing a very simple SWQL query timeout when run via SWQL Studio and via code on only one instance.  I occasionally see the following error:

<error>
The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Security.SecuritySessionClientSettings '1 + ClientSecurityDuplexSessionChannel[System.ServiceModel.Channels.IDuplexSessionChannel], cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state
</error>

I've restarted services several times without any improvement.

SWQL query with issues:
SELECT TOP 100 CA.ConfigID, CA.DownloadTime, CA.Config, CA.NodeID
FROM NCM.ConfigArchive CA

The same basic query in "Database Manager" pulling the whole table returns in seconds.
SELECT TOP 1000 * FROM [dbo].[NCM_ConfigArchive]

Support refuses to assist since the ticket mentions "SWQL" and "SWQL Studio" even though it seems to be unique to one instance and likely below the API or SWQL Studio.

You're facing a WCF error (System.ServiceModel.Security.SecuritySessionClientSettings) causing SWQL timeouts on one Orion instance, while the same query runs fine in Database Manager. This likely points to a service-level fault, not an issue with SWQL or SWQL Studio itself. Since restarts haven’t helped and support won’t assist due to "SWQL" being mentioned, consider checking WCF configs or logs. It's like when a Traffic Rider APK works perfectly on one device but crashes on another—same app, different results.
