Hi All,
There is a discussion about FIPS compliance(using MD5 Hash algorithm in FSDirectory) in Lucene.Net. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-lucene-net-user/200903.mb ox/%3c006101c99f4e$7bdd3590$7397a0...@rendelmann@gmx.net%3e https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-175 In fact, if the system wide policy (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FIPSAlgorithmPolicy) is set, then trying to use MD5 (which is not FIPS compliant) to compute the hash causes exception. So, Is a change in Lucene possible to use SHA1 in computing hash for FIPS compliance (I can see the backward compatibility problems) Or is this problem specific to Lucene.Net? What do you think?
