In this tutorial I will show you how to generate machinekey for web.config file using windows powershell.
Open Windows Powersell:
Press windows key & type powersell then right click on windos powersehll and click run as adminstrator.
Paste the below code and hit enter.
CODE:
# Generates a <machineKey> element that can be copied + pasted into a Web.config file. function Generate-MachineKey { [CmdletBinding()] param ( [ValidateSet("AES", "DES", "3DES")] [string]$decryptionAlgorithm = 'AES', [ValidateSet("MD5", "SHA1", "HMACSHA256", "HMACSHA384", "HMACSHA512")] [string]$validationAlgorithm = 'HMACSHA256' ) process { function BinaryToHex { [CmdLetBinding()] param($bytes) process { $builder = new-object System.Text.StringBuilder foreach ($b in $bytes) { $builder = $builder.AppendFormat([System.Globalization.CultureInfo]::InvariantCulture, "{0:X2}", $b) } $builder } } switch ($decryptionAlgorithm) { "AES" { $decryptionObject = new-object System.Security.Cryptography.AesCryptoServiceProvider } "DES" { $decryptionObject = new-object System.Security.Cryptography.DESCryptoServiceProvider } "3DES" { $decryptionObject = new-object System.Security.Cryptography.TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider } } $decryptionObject.GenerateKey() $decryptionKey = BinaryToHex($decryptionObject.Key) $decryptionObject.Dispose() switch ($validationAlgorithm) { "MD5" { $validationObject = new-object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACMD5 } "SHA1" { $validationObject = new-object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA1 } "HMACSHA256" { $validationObject = new-object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA256 } "HMACSHA385" { $validationObject = new-object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA384 } "HMACSHA512" { $validationObject = new-object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA512 } } $validationKey = BinaryToHex($validationObject.Key) $validationObject.Dispose() [string]::Format([System.Globalization.CultureInfo]::InvariantCulture, "<machineKey decryption=`"{0}`" decryptionKey=`"{1}`" validation=`"{2}`" validationKey=`"{3}`" />", $decryptionAlgorithm.ToUpperInvariant(), $decryptionKey, $validationAlgorithm.ToUpperInvariant(), $validationKey) } }
Then run the following command
Generate-MachineKey -validation sha1
