I'm having problems upgrading from DNN 3.2 to 4.4.1, and in particular with logging into the migrated site. The actual upgrade process went smooth enough (on the 5 attempt), but I now cannot log into the migrated site.
When I login, I get the following error:
A critical error has occurred.
You must specify a non-autogenerated machine key to store passwords in the encrypted format. Either specify a different passwordFormat, or change the machineKey configuration to use a non-autogenerated decryption key.
I've tried copying over the MachineValidation/DecryptionKey info from the appSettings section, as well as generating new ones from http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/GenerateMachineKey/GenerateMachineKey.aspx
I've even tried taking them from a fresh 4.4.1 install on the same box and tried modifying the machineKey settings in the system.web area, but no luck....
I've not yet tried to do this upgrade in our production environment for obvious reasons.
Here is what I have in the appSettings area:
<
<add key="MachineDecryptionKey" value="0B66637F9FF40BE8BC7206514CCFCB7CA5BF87FED934B541" />add key="MachineValidationMode" value="SHA1" />
<
and the system.web area:
<
machineKey validationKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" decryptionKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" validation="3DES" />add key="MachineValidationKey" value="5FBE0D591050217CA31E9C1677418DEC026C3AB5" />
Any help is much appreciated.
