SYMPTOMS
When you apply Service Pack 1 (or a later service pack) for Windows NT 4.0
to Windows NT Server 4.0, the following dialog message will appear:
You have a domestic-version 128-bit PCT/SSL security provider installed
on your machine. This Update contains only an export grade version 40-bit
PCT/SSL security provider. Select Cancel to skip copying this file. Your
original 128-bit security provider will be left intact. Please see the
readme.txt for information on obtaining the updated 128-bit security
provider.
RESOLUTION
This problem occurs only if
- the Windows NT Server 4.0 is running the Internet Information Server
2.0 Web services
-and-
- it is using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) that requires 128-bit encryption.
If 128-bit encryption is required and you are in the U.S. or Canada,
follow Resolution A. If 128-bit encryption is not required or you are not
in the U.S. or Canada, follow resolution B.
Resolution A
- Click the Cancel button to keep the existing file in place.
- Restart the server after the Service Pack is applied.
Internet Information Server will run with the older version of the file,
but the security provider will eventually need to be replaced because of
fixes and enhancements.
The updated 128-bit security provider (the complete Service Pack, except
with the 128-bit security provider) can be obtained by calling:
(800) 631-8906 in the US
(800) 933-4750 in Canada
NOTE: The domestic (128-bit) version of the Service Pack is intended for
distribution only in the United States and Canada. Export of the domestic
version of this service pack from the United States is regulated by the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR, 22 CFR 120-130) of the
U.S. State Department, Office of Defense Trade Controls. A State Department
license is required to export the domestic version of the Service Pack
outside the United States or Canada.
NOTE: Another option, if you need the full line of 128-bit encryption, is
to order the Encryption Pack, which includes 128-bit encryption for RAS,
Internet Explorer 3.0, and SSL for Windows NT Workstation and Server 4.0.
The Encryption Pack can be ordered by calling:
(800) 360-7561 in the US
(800) 360-7561 in Canada
Resolution B
- Click OK to allow the Service Pack to overwrite the existing security
provider.
- Restart the server after the Service Pack is applied.
Internet Information Server will run with the 40-bit version of the
security provider if SSL is used, otherwise it should not affect the
operation of Internet Information Server.
