Windows Server 2016: "Operating system call CryptAcquireContext failed. Error
code 127"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-5437
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5437
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Security
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
Environment: Windows Server 2016 Standard
Reporter: F.D.Castel
Priority: Blocker
Firebird 3.0.1 SuperServer installs and runs fine in Windows Server 2016
(service starts ok).
However, when trying to CONNECT the server returns the following error message:
-----
Error occurred during login, please check server firebird.log for details.
-----
The client application and the server are in the same computer.
Looking at firebird.log (oddly found at... \SysWOW64 folder? is this right?)
shows me:
-----

Operating system call CryptAcquireContext failed. Error code 127
APP11 Fri Jan 06 02:12:28 2017
Authentication, client plugin:
operating system directive CryptAcquireContext failed
The specified procedure could not be found.
-----
Firebird was installed with
CopyFbClientToSysTask,CopyFbClientAsGds32Task,EnableLegacyClientAuth installer
tasks.
This same installation process *WORKS* in Windows 10. This problem occurs
*ONLY* in Windows Server 2016.
Also, I can attest the 'advapi32.dll' is the same in both operating systems.
System32\advapi32.dll v10.0.14393.0 (637KB)
SysWOW64\advapi32.dll v10.0.14393.0 (471KB)
I did even check the .DLL with Dependency Walker to ensure that the function
exists. It *IS* there!! (CryptAcquireContextW and CryptAcquireContextA)
I'm completely at a loss here. Anyone did test Firebird 3.0.1 in Windows Server
2016?
