Description

Hi,

We, at telerik.com, have a Silverlight demo application which is consuming the publicly available OData feed - http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc. Everything was working normally in the past. However, recently we got the following exception - System.InvalidOperationException: An error occurred while processing this request. ---> System.Security.SecurityException: Security error.

It seems that this is related to attempting to access a service in a cross-domain way without a proper cross-domain policy in place. Please note that we have a WPF application which is working normally. Have you changed anything on the server side?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the request from the public Northwind OData feed at http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc in a Silverlight application and compare it with the working WPF case. Check whether the service's cross-domain policy permits Silverlight access; done means the feed can be consumed without the reported security exception.
