Root Cause Analysis
From Apex One Server installation log (C:\Windows\OFCSVR.log.MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.log):
2019 03/26 15:50:10 [6d74 : 0001] (00) (E) [-iAC-][TMiACSetup.exe][Error]Failed with exception: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms. -[DebugUtil.cs(20)]
By default, the policy "System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing" is disabled. Enabling this policy causes deployment failure / unactivated licenses.
This issue occurs on the GM build of Apex One. There are two options to resolve this:
Option 1: Install latest Apex One patch (Build 2146 or higher) available.
Option 2: Follow these steps:
To by-pass this error, disable the setting for "System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing" under Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy.
- Disable the setting for "System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing".
- Set the registry subkey *HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\fipsalgorithmpolicy* to 0.
- Check the SQL Server configuration, and set "Force Encryption” to “Yes” as shown below:
