This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.

RESOLUTION / ANSWER:

This is due to security settings for Federal Information Processing Systems (FIPS).  

This will need to be fixed by your IT professional using the following steps:

1.       Go to secpol.msc
2.       Under Local Policies, click “Security Options”
3.       Navigate to the Policy “System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing”
4.       Open the policy and set it to disabled.
