Has anyone ever come across this error? I'm getting this when I post back to a forms authenticated site after redirecting to another site and then redirecting back. I've already checked that loadUserProfiles="true" but that did not help. This is a site hosted on IISExpress via other sites also hosted on IISExpress, using localhost gen'ed SSL certs and differentiating via host header. I'm pretty clueless at this point on where the error even comes from. Is it a cookie error? The FormsAuth cookie? It's ASP.NET 4.0 site where I'm authenticating against a Thinktecture Id server. Any feedback is appreciated to help me with my current block. Thanks

Crypto errors like this are common if your application pool is not set to load its user profile. The crypto system needs to access user's cert store.
The exact moment the error occurs is when you authenticate and the sts sends back the signed SAML token.
This means that the error is subtle. You don't see it everytime, only in one exact moment. You can even be deceived that the error is gone because the site works correctly, however the error reappears as soon as someone tries to log in.
The problem was only happening in IE9 when running in Debug mode. After awhile it went away for whatever reason. :/

I tried this:
runas /user: domain\user cmd with no luck
This seems to only occur now when IIS is reset and I try to resume my browsing session. So I am logged into the application, I reset IIS on the server, refresh the page and see the error.
I am building an application in .NET 4.0 MVC with a Secure Token Service that is using WIF 4.0. Everything works as expected, except this case. I even tried to use a custom error page, but the error is happening there as well. Because of that, I can't get the custom page to show either. Also, This is using a certificate that is located on both load balanced servers. This happens in my dev environment whihc consists of only one server (app, wfe, db operated there)
One thing I noticed is that if I switch my IIS APP Pool user back to Network Service account it doesn't throw the error any more. We have some restrictions (mostly network related) in the application that we need to use an account in our AD for the app pool sections
Anybody have any experience with this issue?

This issue is related to session cookies.
WIF protects session cookies using Data Protection API (DPAPI) by default, and the DPAPI is closely related to machine keys.
If the keys used to encrypt the session cookies change, it throws this exception.
It could be also related to your app hosting infrastructure.
if your app is running in an Network Load Balancer (NLB) environment
if you change the app pool settings (e.g., change the pool’s user)
More details about this scenario on the MSDN blog entry:
WIF 1.0 – ID1073 A CryptographicException occurred when attempting to decrypt the cookie using the ProtectedData API Archive.Today Shortlink
Todd Foust (October 29, 2012)
So, if your app runs in NLB environment, you could :
Configure your load balancer to use sticky sessions. This means that your user will be directed to the same server during the session duration. (I’m not very fond of that one)
Use a certificate to encrypt the session cookies
set all web.config files to use the same machine key in system.web
If you are not running the app in a NLB env, you could try:
set the machinekey in your web.config to use a pre-defined value instead of auto-generated values
Regarding auto-generated machinekey setting, please see:

Has anyone come across this problem where it has been working and then stops and any fixes for this?
Edit: I had a few issues setting up msmq see:
MSMQ creating errors: A workgroup installation computer does not support the operation / User's internal Message Queuing certificate does not exist
My set up we have 6 servers which are load balanced and all have msmq set up, the domain is set up as a Network service and there are two other server which are involved - the doamin controller which receives the messages and serach server which receives the message - i don t kow if there is a problem on all or just one particular server. I have tried to narrow it down by using the Host file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\Host )and pointing at each server at a time but they still seem to be sporadic in whther they work or not. We do use caching so I'm not sure if this may be affecting anything...
Thanks
I know this might sounds like a dummy solution, but it will worked with me for sure.
You need to remove MSMQ and install again, but in order for the other services to actually see it you need to restart in between every step ... so What you need to do as follow:
Remove MSMQ
Restart Server
Install MSMQ
Restart Server: Noting sometime this step is not needed it depends on whether the other services are able to see the MSMQ at this level or not.
Good luck
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
Log on to your computer as an administrator.
Click Start, and then click
Run.
The Run dialog box appears.
In the Open box, type
Services.msc, and then click OK.
The Services window appears.
Locate Message Queuing. Right-click
Message Queuing, and then click
Properties.
The Message Queuing Properties (Local Computer) dialog box appears.
On the Log On tab, click Local System account.
Click Apply, and then click
OK.
Stop the Message Queuing service, and then start the Message Queuing service.
I am running Dotnetnuke7 on a shared hosting environment using ASP.net 4.5 and IIS configured in integrated pipeline mode (as required by DNN7).
When I install it on a Win2008/IIS7 server (ASP4.0) at the hosting provider the application runs fine, but when I install it on a Win2008R2/IIS7.5 server at the hosting provider(ASP4.5) I get an exception Collection is read-only when trying to log-in or submitting anything to the site. (For example use DNN search function). See detailed stacktrace below.
The hosting provider checked the .net 4.5 permissions, and also applies apppool-specific permissions, but no luck yet.
Anybody a clue what IIS7.5 parameter or option can be the cause here?

For anyone stumpling on this - I had this exact issue today.
Resolved by two actions for me:
Verify isapi filters in IIS for .net 4.0/4.5 etc are ALLOWED
I had installed rewriter-modules (Helicon). Once I removed these ISAPI-filters again - all worked fine.
So check isapi-filters is my advice and start without any additional filters except the needed .net filters.
I am using Microsoft Commerce Server 2007 and a custom ASP.NET 2.0 website. Everything works well in Classic Pipeline, but when I try to use the Integrated pipeline, it fails with the following error:

I've done my best to research this, and it's definitely caused by Commerce Server trying to access the HttpContext.Current when there is no current request. This all happens before anything in my code, and there's nothing to break into or any source code to look at. I've even tried attaching the debugger to the IIS process (w3wp.exe), but it doesn't catch anything.
I have followed the instructions Here to add the web.config section, but it hasn't made any difference.
I have a different website on a different server using Commerce Server in Integrated Pipeline mode with no problems, so I know it's possible. I can't find a significant difference between the two web.config files, so I'm assuming it's a config error somewhere else, but I don't have any idea where to look.
It is critical that I can get this working in Integrated Pipeline mode for performance reasons, plus I am creating a custom URL Rewriting HTTP Module which works with the integrated pipeline only.
Thank you in advance for any help!

This happens on a request to a specific WebResource.axd request.
The other error that we're seeing is this:

algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used

This error happens occasionally while posting a form.
Now before you jump in and tell me the obvious (usual) answer to this error, consider this:
The application is deployed to Windows Server 2003 on IIS6
It is NOT on a web farm. Only one webserver is in use here.
The application pool identity is a custom service account, and I did run aspnet_regiss -ga <username> on the server. No effect.
The error is because your appdomain was recycled/restarted. When that happens the application and the machine key is set to auto, it changes. That affects the decryption of the info in the url of the resources urls (.axd). Setting up a fixed machine key will prevent it from ever happening again.
Please check this for more info on a similar case (the explanation is with an issue with viewstate validation, but the cause is the same one): http://www.developmentnow.com/blog/InvalidViewstate+Or+Unable+To+Validate+Data+Error.aspx
I also had been wondering about it for quite a while. After I saw this question it got me on it again: Is this an attempt to break my ASP.Net site's security? ... which I just answered with very much the same. I had the feeling it was around some restart of something, because when we published something that recycled the application the error showed in the log, but I didn't have any other source stating its relation (today I found that case on invalidviewstate because of the machinekey change :))
Ps. above finally explains it on single server :)
This problem appears when a post is generated before the page is fully loaded in the browser. Have a look at this question.
Ben,
For your first problem, I found this that seems to be a bit more to the point of what you are seeing in that the problem is sporadically occurring.
You should be able to find a full explanation of this at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/security/Cryptor.aspx#aes.
What you really need to do is set RijndaelAlg.Padding to PaddingMode.ISO10126, PaddingMode.PKCS7, or PaddingMode.ANSIX923. Any one of these 3 values should work, provided that you use the same value when encrypting and decrypting. Other values will work with some data, but not with all data. The above URL explains why.
What I don't understand is the reason Microsoft provides options that sometimes don't work, or at least why they don't default to a reliable option.
