Failed to decrypt using provider 'RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider'. Error message from the provider: The RSA key container could not be opened.

Source Error:

It looks like you need to have your RSA key installed on the server. See this knowledgebase article for full details:

Hi,
as per the instructions mentioned in the url mentioned, I have created
NetFrameworkConfigurationKey_username.xml

In the document its given like this

Then add the custom configProtectedData provider in your application's web.config. Replace the keyContainerName value with the same container name of your RSA key.







<configuration>
<configProtectedData defaultProvider="MyRsaProtectedConfigurationProvider">
<providers>
<add name="MyRsaProtectedConfigurationProvider"
type="System.Configuration.RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider, System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a, processorArchitecture=MSIL"
keyContainerName="NetFrameworkConfigurationKey_username" --??
useMachineContainer="true" />
</providers>
</configProtectedData>
</configuration>

 

Value of the keyContainerName should be 'NetFrameworkConfigurationKey_XXXXX where XXXXX is your DASP username (same as what you specified while generating your pair of RSA keys [http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10477])
