ASP.NET MVC: “An internal error occurred.” when lo

问题:

I have already spent a few hours to resolve this error. The weird thing is when I use this libraries independently, it works absolutely fine but when I integrate them with my ASP .NET MVC website, it start throwing the following exception. I have also used MachineKeySet flag based on suggestion here but still no luck. Could anyone please help me to get rid of this exception. Thanks.

An internal error occurred.

I found the solution here. Looks like a known issue. I used X509KeyStorageFlags.MachineKeySet | X509KeyStorageFlags.PersistKeySet | X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable flags together and problem disappeared. Other solution is to change the identity of applicationpool to LOCALSERVICE.
