aspnet_regiis -pc operation does not honor -size argument (.NET 2.

[=?Utf-8?B?Sm9zaHVhQmlhZ2lv?=]

When creating a key container with aspnet_regiis, I tried to specify a size
of 2048 bits but the resulting key was 1024 bits long. I also tried various
other sizes, all of which resulted in a key of 1024 bits. The aspnet_regiis
program does check the value of the -size argument, because it does not allow
an invalid key size, but it seems to not use the size given.

I am using aspnet_regiis in a script to generate the key pair and also to
grant access to the ASPNET account. I'd like to use a stronger key than 1024
bits (RSA) but until I find a solution, it'll have to do.

Hi, Joshua.

I suggest you use the feedback tool for the .Net Framework to file a bug :
https://connect.microsoft.com/feedba...spx?SiteID=210

You'll need a Passport/Windows Live ID to report the bug.

If you can, after resolution, please post the results here.

Thanks!

Hi Juan -

I've tried to submit a bug but I cannot apply for permission.

Thanks,
