Found the solution:

$MW_HOME file system was full, caused to corrupt the security file 'security.xml'.

Restored it from backup and bounce the domain.

Hello v007,

Are you trying to launch via http://hostname:9704/xmlpserver  or http://hostname:9704/analytics

what is the security type ?? what is the catalog OBIEE or BI Publisher file system ?
