If you plan to be compliant with Federal Information
Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2, you must modify the java.security file
to enable your IBM® Enterprise
Records environment
for FIPS 140-2 mode.
The location of the
java.security file
depends on your IBM JRE installation.
For information, see the related link. For example, for a Windows
WebSphere® Application
Server installation, the default location
is:
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\jre\lib\security.
Restriction: If you use FIPS 140-2 encryption in your environment,
you must install WebSphere Application
Server 7
or WebSphere Application
Server 7 Client on
all servers that run IBM Enterprise
Records components.
To modify the java.security file:
Modify the java.security file in
the IBM JRE security folder by adding the following
information: security.provider. N =com.ibm.crypto.fips.provider.IBMJCEFIPS
Where
N is
the relative position of the entry in the list of security providers.
