 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
How to add a Java™ Cryptography Provider such as Bouncy Castle to IBM® WebSphere® Application Server.
 
Cause
Some software has special requirements with regards to the Java™ Cryptography Provider library needed.
 
Resolving the problem
1) Review the Tech Note regarding the support scope of third party providers.
2) Download the IBM SDK Policy files for Java SDK 1.4 and copy the local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar to <WAS_HOME>\java\jre\lib\security

3) Add the provider entry to the java.security.
Examples:
security.provider.6=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider
security.provider.6=com.datech.jce.provider.DatechCrypto

NOTE: This is dependent on the provider.

3) Add the provider jar (eg. bcprov-jdk14-118.jar) to <WAS_HOME>\java\jre\lib\ext
