VS development on FDCC compliant Workstation
- by paramesh kudlur
Hi,
I have a FDCC compliant workstation with FIPS 140-1 (Level 1) enabled.
Now, i cannot run/debug any VS 2005/2008 applications on my machine
I get the following error message on my browser
Parser Error Message: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
the Error points to line no 1 of default.aspx.cs file
using system;
The only way to successfully debug/run my application is to set the following registry key to 0
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\fipsalgorithmpolicy
I understand that there are some Cryptographic algorithms that are not FIPS compliant on XP SP2 but i am not using cryptography at all.
For that matter, the solution contains just default.aspx page with default code in .cs file, and even that fails to run.
So my question is why the webpage fails to load, and why the error points to line #1 "using System;" statement?
My next question is how can i develop on FIPS compliant locked down maching where i do not have edit rights on registry
Thanks
kudlur
