Migrating unrestricted jurisdiction policy files, local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar

You can migrate the unrestricted jurisdiction policy files, local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar.

About this task

If you want to use encryption keys that are greater than 128-bits, you must use the unrestricted jurisdiction policy files, local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar.

The files are located in the [WAS_HOME/java/jre/lib/security] directory.

If your back-level version of WebSphere® Application Server is using the unrestricted jurisdiction policy files, you must perform special steps to migrate these files to your new version of WebSphere Application Server. If you are not using the unrestricted jurisdiction policy files, you do not need to take any action.

Procedure

  1. Before migrating, copy the modified local_policy.jar file to a temporary location.
  2. Migrate the WebSphere Application Server installation.
  3. Copy the modified local_policy.jar file from step 1 to the following directory on the new WebSphere Application Server installation: WAS_HOME/java/jre/lib/security .
  4. Start the new WebSphere Application Server installation as normal.
