Search Service application worked fine before but after some days when i open search service application from central admin below error appears.

The base type 'Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Internal.UI.SearchAdministration' is not allowed for this page. The type Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Internal.UI.SearchAdministration, Microsoft.Office.Server.Search, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c could not be found or it is not registered as safe.

recently we disabled TLS1.1 in SP Servers and SQL Server

    Hi @adlilahmed

    Please try to add the following line to the Central Admin web site web.config: 

    <SafeControl  
  
     Assembly="Microsoft.Office.Server.Search, Version=14.0.0.0,  
  
     Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"  
  
     Namespace="Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Internal.UI"  
  
     TypeName="*" />  
  
<PageParserPath  
  
     VirtualPath="/searchadministration.aspx"  
  
     CompilationMode="Always" AllowServerSideScript="true"  
  
     />

    This fixed my issue (resolution 2):
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4584132/ghosted-pages-in-sharepoint-not-render

    in web.config for your shaerpoint site:
    added:

    <SafeControl Assembly="Microsoft.Office.Server.Search, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" Namespace="Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Internal.UI" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />

    and added 

      <PageParserPaths>
  <PageParserPath VirtualPath="/*" CompilationMode="Always" AllowServerSideScript="True" IncludeSubFolders="true" />
  </PageParserPaths>

    Hi Omur,
    I modified web.config file in SharePoint Central Administration v4 contents folder. (You can open folder using IIS and selecting your Central administration site and browsing content) reminder.. Please make a backup of web.config file before editing..

    In safe controls section I added

    <SafeControl Assembly="Microsoft.Office.Server.Search, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" Namespace="Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Internal.UI" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />

    and also search for <PageParserPaths> and then added

    <PageParserPath VirtualPath="/*" CompilationMode="Always" AllowServerSideScript="True" IncludeSubFolders="true" />

    Hope this helps..

    Hi Levent

    Unfortunately, I still have the same problems after add the lines into the web.config file under central administration.

    Do you have another idea?
