KVB fails to start with a Windows Platform FIPS error

If KVB fails to start with the following error, there is a compatibility problem between KVB and the FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption:

It is possible to work-around the problem by disabling the FIPS algorithm policy in the Windows Registry Editor:

  1. Launch Windows Registry Editor as administrator.
    1. In the search box on the taskbar, type “regedit", select “Registry Editor (App)” from the results, and select “Run as administrator”.
  2. Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy.
  3. Double-click on “MDMEnabled” entry.
  4. Change the "Value data" from “1” (Enabled) to “0” (Disabled).

KVB will then be able to start and run normally.
