CryptographicException with ASP.NET 2.0

I just recently switched the app that interfaces with Vault to ASP.NET 2.0.

This caused a strange crash though.

_myClient.Init(VaultClientNetLib.VaultConnection.AccessLevelType.Client,LocalStoreBasePath);
_myClient.Login(Host, Username, Password);

The login line above threw the following exception:

System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: The system cannot find the file specified.

This still works in the ASP.NET 1.1 code.

Any ideas. Thanks in advance

This is just a guess, but follow the steps in this KB article and see whether that helps at all:

That didn't fix my problem. I am using windows authentication and impersonation, do you think that would cause the problem given that this is being developed in ASP.NET 2.0's "virtual IIS" mode?

Does your Vault GUI client work properly on the same machine?

One thing you could try is to turn on Vault client logging. See the knowledge base for how to set that up. You should be able to create a [yourapp].exe.config file that generates a log, and it might have better info about what is happening.
