  • An error occurred while encrypting a control's callback state

    Error Description

    This error occurs if you host a web application in a web farm and encryption keys for this application are generated at runtime.

    Solution

    To solve this issue, assign a key value to the machineKey element’s decryptionKey attribute in the configuration file:

    <machineKey 
        validationKey="your-validation-key" 
        decryptionKey="your-decryption-key" 
    />
    

    Refer to the following help topic for more information: IIS 7 Tip # 10 You can generate machine keys from the IIS manager.
