Symptoms
This issue occurs when Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) for Response Group Service (RGS) is enabled in a Microsoft Skype for Business Server 2015 environment.
Additionally, when you establish application endpoints, you may see the following exception:
sip:RtcApplication-XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX@domain.com sip:RtcApplication- XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX@domain.com sip:RtcApplication- XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX@domain.com Exception: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException - System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms. at System.Security.Cryptography.SHA512Managed..ctor() --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Resolution: Check the Front End server for errors.
