Applying Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 128-Bit Encryption

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

1. Click the Cancel button to keep the existing file in place.
2. 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: 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:

Resolution B

1. Click OK to allow the Service Pack to overwrite the existing security provider.
2. 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.
