Guys,
In our installation we've run into an issue on deploying data to machines with a specific local security policy. 

The policy:
System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing and signing

When I enable this policy on my machine, I am unable to open any of our package files (no encryption) because of the compression being used. 
Get the generic message:
PackageIt has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Our installation will be for government machines, many of which will likely have this option set.  Programmatically we can turn off this setting IF local policy allows it, but there is a very real chance this won't be the case. 

Are there any settings you have within the DDT or PackageIt! that you can change to make the data packages FIPS compliant?

I've attached an overview of the policy if it helps.

If nothing else, keep it in mind. I can see where this can cause lots of problems for data deployment and even the general Strataframe user. Even changing it on my machine makes the DDT unusable - I get a license not activated message.




Well, since it came up it is on our radar. But at this point, we are many thousands of installations deep and this is the first time it ever came up. So though it is something that we will definitely need to check into, I would be surprised if this was extremely wide spread. Thanks for the heads up. Wink
