Entity Framework
MD5 Exception
Problem
You execute a method from the Entity Framework Extensions library, and the following error is thrown:
Exception:
This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
Solution
Cause
The default algorithm to validate the license key & name is not supported with FIPS enabled.
Fix
Ask for a compatible key
Contact us and we will send you a new key supporting FIPS: info@zzzprojects.com
Why don’t we generated key compatible with FIPS by default? Because it will not be supported for a client machine with Windows XP or below.
