Problem with User Profile Service in SharePoint 2010
Bit of a random problem but I received the follo wing error across the top of the ‘User Profile Service Application’ page in SharePoint 2010 Beta 2…
User Profile Application’s connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or User Profile Service may not have been started. Please contact your administrator”.
I found the following blog posting from Travis Nielsen who had also received this message and his posting worked for me.
To avoid repeating what Travis has to say read…

Travis talked about commenting out the allowinsecuretransport attribute This is what the commented out section of the client.config file looked like for me. Note there are two references to this, so I commented out both.
After you have made the change remember to do an IISRESET.
