Hello,
We've installed SQL Server 2008 and Reporting Services 2008 on a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise box. I could initially access the Report Server at the default URL, but when I attempted to access the Report Manager, I got a 500 Internal Server Error message. When I looked in the RS logs I found the following:
ui!ReportManager_0-2!a34!01/30/2009-11:08:40:: e ERROR: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
ui!ReportManager_0-2!a34!01/30/2009-11:08:40:: e ERROR: HTTP Status Code --> 500
-------Details-------
System.InvalidOperationException: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
at System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManaged..ctor()
Once I disabled FIPS compliancy on the server, the issue disappeared and I had full access to the Report Manager. Unfortunately, for this particular project, FIPS compliancy is required, so I need a way to run the manager with FIPS enabled.
I've looked into this elsewhere and found out that a fix was released for the same issue in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. Is there a fix or workaround for 2008 yet? Has anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
RLG
