    Umbraco 4.11.3.1 fresh install, having an issue with Encryption Algorithms

    I am trying to install a fresh copy of Umbraco 4.11.3.1 on my local server to begin development of a site, however I am running into an issue when running the setup.

     

    When the server tries to load default.apsx, it throws an error saying that this implimentation doesn't meet the "FIPS Validated Cryptographic Algorithms". After some digging, I found that "FIPS" stands for "Federal Information Processing Standard" and it is a setting on the local security policy for our server. I am unable to turn of the FIPS setting because it is forced via group policy (I'm on a DOD installation which is why it is forced).

     

    So my question is: is there a way to change Umbraco's hashing/encryption alogrithm(s) to one that is compliant with FIPS?

     

    -Windows Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008, Umbraco 4.11.3.1

    Hi Matthew -

    Ideally knowing what the policy is using to verify FIPS compliance will point you in the right direction - if you can get that information I'm sure the solution will be much more apparant.  FWIW - last time I saw this message it was solved simply by adding a unique machine key to the site's web.cofig.  Have a look here:
