From Trustwave:

  1. On the system where the service is installed, navigate to Control Panel.
  2. Select Administrative Tools and then Local Security Policy.
  3. Navigate to Local Policies and Security Options.
  4. Double click System Cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing.
  5. Disable the setting, and then click Apply.
  6. Restart the IIS service.

    A bit of background I am developing a webpage that connects to a web service using SOAP. I get this error when I am call a method on the web service:

    The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel. There fore i Added the line of code.

    ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = true;
    ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3;
    

    I have there cert stored on my server as trust as well as they have my cert stored and white listed to let through. When I try to authenticate i get the follow message.

    System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The client and server cannot communicate, because they do not possess a common algorithm
    

    I have set up the Trace and here is what the trace file looks like. I have hit a point where i am not sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
