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

After you upgrade from Microsoft ASP.NET 1.1 to Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0, some ASP.NET-based applications may not function correctly. Additionally, when you access ASP.NET Web pages that have ViewState enabled, you may receive the following error message:
[InvalidOperationException: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.]


This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:
-The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\fipsalgorithmpolicy registry subkey is set to 1.
-ASP.NET 2.0 uses the RijndaelManaged implementation of the AES algorithm when it processes view state data. The ReindaelManaged implementation has not been certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). Therefore, the AES algorithm is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.

  3. Hi Amol,
    We are still getting the same FIPS error when we run the config wizard. THis is a new SharePoint 2010 installation but we keep getting the error!!
    FIPS is already disabled, and the setup account has admin privileges.

  6. Hi Amol,
    I got the issue resolved, there are 3 reg keys associated with the FIPS! I had to manually set their values to 1 and then the PSCONFIG ran successfully.
    I have written a small blog about it
