DataProtectionScope.CurrentUser & NT Domains
-
I know most of you will cringe as you read this but my office has not moved to AD and still uses an NT domain. I've noticed an issue and am not sure if it is related to NT domains or just basic encryption "gottcha". I'm using ProtectedData.Protect() method to encrypt data with the CurrentUser scope. When I change my domain password according to our domain policy I can no longer decrypt data that has been encrypted with the previous password (Exception = {"Key not valid for use in specified state.\r\n"}). Is this an issue inherent with using the CurrentUser scope ? I've seen a previous post where the CurrentUser scope was a viable solution and did not cause issues with password changes, but that person was using an AD domain. Anyone have any experience with this issue or a work around ?
