Unrecognized attribute 'allowInsecureTransport'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive. (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\WebClients\Bdc\client.config line 36)

(or)

Unrecognized attribute 'allowInsecureTransport'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive. (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\WebClients\SecurityToken\client.config line 41)


Reason:
You will get this error, when you are trying to create any site using "Access Database service"  like BDC or "Project Database" templates. The reason is Microsoft missed to update a patch in Windows 7. 

Solution:
So, download a patch from  https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=23806 (Windows6.1-KB976462-v2-x64.msuand install this in your SharePoint machine. 

Note: Don't forget to restart the machine to take effect.

That's it...

  1. Another Error that I faced, which happened to root to this problem:

    Error in SP UI :
    The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator.

    Error in SP Logs:
    Proxy Managed Metadata Service throws an exception: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unrecognized attribute 'allowInsecureTransport'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive
