Configuring the Enterprise Server for Message Security

If you are running the Enterprise Server on version 1.5 of the Java SDK, the JCE provider is already configured properly. If you are running the Enterprise Server on version 1.4.x of the Java SDK, you can add a JCE provider statically as part of your JDK environment, as follows.

1.Download and install a JCE provider JAR (Java ARchive) file.

The following URL provides a list of JCE providers that support RSA encryption: http://java.sun.com/products/jce/javase_providers.html.

2.Copy the JCE provider JAR file tojava-home/jre/lib/ext/.

3.Stop the Enterprise Server.

If the Enterprise Server is not stopped and then restarted later in this process, the JCE provider will not be recognized by the Enterprise Server.

4.Edit the java-home/jre/lib/security/java.security properties file in any text editor. Add the JCE provider you’ve just downloaded to this file.

The java.security file contains detailed instructions for adding this provider. Basically, you need to add a line of the following format in a location with similar properties:

security.provider.n=provider-class-name

In this example, n is the order of preference to be used by the Enterprise Server when evaluating security providers. Set n to 2 for the JCE provider you’ve just added.

For example, if you’ve downloaded The Legion of the Bouncy Castle JCE provider, you would add this line.

security.provider.2=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider. BouncyCastleProvider

Make sure that the Sun security provider remains at the highest preference, with a value of 1.

security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun

Adjust the levels of the other security providers downward so that there is only one security provider at each level.

The following is an example of a java.security file that provides the necessary JCE provider and keeps the existing providers in the correct locations.

security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun

security.provider.2=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider. BouncyCastleProvider

security.provider.3=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider

security.provider.4=com.sun.rsajca.Provider

security.provider.5=com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE

security.provider.6=sun.security.jgss.SunProvider

5.Save and close the file.
