We are wondering how to enable FIPS in AKS EE on a Windows Server? In that environment, there are several software components working as the pods of Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster. Moreover, they are built as Docker containers, e.g. "FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0 AS base" is currently used.

We have tried out following approaches, but no luck.

  1. Set ENV DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_USENONFIPSALGORITHMS=0
  2. Enabled FIPS in the server VM we were testing with
