H.17 Replication Fails in a FIPS-Enabled Environment for vCloud and AWS Targets

Issue: In a FIPS-enabled environment, FIPS is enabled for the PlateSpin Migrate Server and source workloads. Replication of a FIPS-enabled workload to a target vCloud or target AWS platform fails with the following error:

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.

This error is not observed for migration of FIPS-enabled source workloads to other target platforms.

Fix: You can enable PlateSpin Migrate to suppress errors for non-compliant FIPS algorithms.

  1. In a text editor, open the ofxcontrollerexecution.exe.config file found in this folder:

    <install folder>\PlateSpin Migrate Server\Controller\Packages\0\C863075B-8130-4d29-893B-70FF2AD9308C\1

  2. Add the following element to the runtime section of the file:

    <configuration>
    <runtime>
         ...
        <enforceFIPSPolicy enabled="false"/>
    </runtime>
</configuration>

  3. Save your changes.
