We were seeing this exception on two servers when we tried to access the BAM Portal… after having to reconfigure the BAM Portal and Tools for reasons unrelated to the error:

We reconfigured the BAM Portal and Tools multiple times, trying to fix this issue, but kept getting the exception. The fix was to add the BizTalk Server Administrators and BizTalk Application Users to the BAM_ManagementWS role in the BAMPrimaryImport database. (Note that these two groups do not appear to be added to this role in a “clean” configuration.
Thanks go to Ed at http://talentedmonkeys.wordpress.com/ for figuring out a solution.
