DNN 4.0.2

The system has been running smoothly for about two years. About three days ago all my portal administrators lost the ability to edit thier sites. They can log on but once they try to add/edit/delete pages or content, they are prompted by the logon screen. Super user accounts still work fine.

New portals appear to suffer from the same problem.

Where do I begin troubleshooting this?

this is due to a security update form Microsoft, I suggest to upgrade to the current version of DotNetNuke, which solves this issue.

Thanks for your help. I tried upgrading. It may be unrelated but I get this error now:
