DAX Formatter Error FIPS

[charlessmithson]

I am merely trying to use the DAX Formatter in DaxStudio and receiving the following error:
DaxFormatter.com Error: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
I am on a fairly locked down laptop and have no means to change any of the system settings.

Please Help

Thanks for logging this. When we call the daxformatter API we do a one way SHA256 hash of the server name and database name. And apparently there are 2 ways of generating a SHA256 hash in C# and only one of them is FIPS compliant. I've changed to the FIPS compliant version.

I'm not sure how hard your laptop is locked down, but there is a preview build with the fix available here if you would like to test it https://ci.appveyor.com/project/DarrenGosbell/daxstudio/builds/42849403/artifacts

@dgosbell , what is release schedule for this version? Thinking there is no way I will get a preview version installed. Thanks again for such a quick response and resolution!
