    Hi,

    From the stack trace It looks like the management service uses: MD5CryptoServiceProvider which is not a FIPS 140 standard algorithm.  That's not to say it's necessary insecure in doing so it just depends on why it's using it.  I would think it could be switched for a SHA1 as a hash algorithm instead in the future.  Maybe worth contacting Support and mentioning it.

    Regards,
