Lucene.Java also uses MD5 and Lucene.Net is supposed to be compatible with
it at API and index level. Therefore, unless java version changes the hash
algorithm, I don't think that a code change can be done in Lucene.Net.

Subject: FIPS compliance?
Importance: High

 

Hi,

 

I just got back user complaints about this:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for
'Lucene.Net.Store.FSDirectory' threw an exception. --->
System.SystemException: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. --->
System.InvalidOperationException: This implementation is not part of the
Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
at System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider..ctor()
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---

 

We use an older version (2.0.x) of lucense.net in our public release, but as
I see in FSDirectory type initializer there is still the MD5-non-FIPS
compliant hash provider in use.

What is the best way to get a FIPS compliant lucene.net assembly? I can
change the code manually here, but then I have to apply that every time we
adopt a newer version L

Any hints?
