ASPNET_SETREG - Error reading the password from the registry

I'm trying to use aspnet_setreg to encrypt user names & password used in the
web.config file for use in the indentity element. When the website runs I get
the message 'Error reading the password from the registry'.

I'm using Windows XP SP2, Framework 1.1 . The code in the web.config file is :

<identity impersonate="tr ue"
password="regis try:HKLM\SOFTWA RE\MyCompany\My App\Website\Ide ntity\ASPNET_SE TREG,password
userName="regis try:HKLM\SOFTWA RE\MyCompany\My App\Website\Ide ntity\ASPNET_SE TREG,userName"
/>

I've given the ASPNET account read permissions to the registry keys.

What have I missed ???

Thanks for your help.

We are having some problems with invalid characters in passwords when using aspnet_setreg. Aspnet_setreg seems to generate the registry keys successfully, but then the asp.net application using the username/password encrypted with aspnet_setreg won't start properly because of a problem with the password. For information, we have a utility that generates strong passwords for us. The passwords could contain most of the special...

I am using aspnet_setreg but the permissions that it sets the registry to leave the application unable to access the information.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
