This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms while caching

Question

We have created a web app that caches a drop down list of states and only recaches once a week. I disabled FIPS in the registry and cannot find any information on what to do about this issue.

Everytime I run the app I get a FIPS error despite FIPS being disabled.

edit: I have since added this line in the dev.exe.config file

The issue still remains. Anyone know how I am getting a FIPS error when it should not know fips exists. (I have restarted my comp many times hoping to solve this issue as well)

Answer 1

This is a seriously difficult problem to research. If you are having issues even after doing what I stated above this is how you can solve it. (assuming you can turn FIPS compliance off on your machine.) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa In this folder you should see FipsAlgorithmPolicy. DELETE this registry entry and restart. If you system is dual encrypted you cannot run any form of caching in .net.

Here is the documentation I found on this issue. https://getsatisfaction.com/web_active_directory/topics/why_do_i_get_a_parser_error_message_about_windows_platform_fips
