The log collected during the Apex One Master Service restart shows that logAccessor was not able to start correctly, which is why the log eventually cannot send to SQL:
2020 01/29 11:21:08 [272c : 24b8] (00) (D) [][LogAccessor.exe]Err: An SqlException exception occurred at Open Connection.: Login failed for user ''. - [(1)]
AES256 encryption is on as well as FipsAlgorithmPolicy:
=== EncType=1 ===
=== HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy Enabled=1 ===
According to Microsoft, decrypting will cause exception when AES256 and FipsAlgorithmPolicy are both on:
If the Windows security policy setting for Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)-compliant algorithms is enabled, using this algorithm throws a CryptographicException.
Disable AES256 (EncType=0) in Server-Agent Communication under Global Setting or disable FipsAlgorithmPolicy in Windows Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > System Cryptography.
You can also disable FIPS for good by following the steps in this link. More info:
"FIPS mode" doesn’t make Windows more secure. It just blocks access to newer cryptography schemes that haven’t been FIPS-validated. That means it won’t be able to use new encryption schemes, or faster ways of using the same encryption schemes. In other words, it makes your computer slower, less functional, and arguably less secure.
