Hello, I am using CS2002 with SP3 and FP1 on Win2003 Server.  I recently
added encryption keys to my web.config file, but all of a sudden, anonymous
user profiles can no longer be loaded.  CommerceContext.Current.UserID is
initialized correctly, but CommerceContext.Current.UserProfile is null.  If 
I
try to load the Profile explicity using the UserID, I get null as well.  But
if I try to create a new UserObject profile using UserID, it says it already
exists. This only came up after I added the keys; it's been working fine for
weeks.  I need to use the Anonymous UserProfile for the Targeting Framework
(i.e. discounts).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated...

Thanks,
--DanielT

Hi Daniel,

This could be happening if a null property is trying to be decrypted.  The
recommended practice is to create a new property that is encrypted, and
copy the existing property into the new encrypted property.  Problems can
arise if you enable encryption on an existing property.

Hope this helps,
David
