New Realm Creation Filename: redirection.config Error

SecureAuth IdP Version affected: 8.x

Description: 
Applies to: SecureAuth IdP; FileSync Installer

When attempting to create a new realm after the installation of the FileSync Service, the error Filename: redirection.config Error: Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions is displayed in the administrative interface. This is due a bug in pre-3.3.3 versions of the FileSync Installer. 

Cause: 
Due to a bug in the routine that is responsible for detecting and creating realms in the FileSync Installer, a situation can occur where the SecureAuth0 (Admin Realm) IIS application is moved from the SecureAuth0Pool Application Pool to the .Net 4.5 (Server 2012) or ASP .NET v4.0 (Server 2008) application pool. When in this configuration, SecureAuth0 lacks the necessary privileges to create a new realm.
