Question

Hi, in our web project we are using AjaxContoltoolKit dll which was downloaded from the last release source https://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/releases/view/116091. It is working fine in normal environment.

Some days back, one of our customer has raised the FIPS compliant issue with AjaxContoltoolKit. As we have searched in AjaxContoltoolKit codeplex source, we found the following fix https://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/SourceControl/network/forks/cstick/AjaxControlToolkitFIPSHashAlgorithm for FIPS compliant.

We have downloaded this fix and tested it in our FIPS compliance enabled system, now it is working fine.

My question is, The FIPS compliant fix is not released yet in codeplex project and it is stated the message "Being Evaluated", so that can I use this source in my project? or give me any suggestions to overcome this FIPS compliant pbm.
