BouncyCastle issue

Make sure you have bctest-jdk16-145.jar in the directory you are testing from (e.g., D:\LawsonInstalls\BouncyCastle).
Also, you might be mixing up the Sun Java JDK and the IBM JDK--they are different and have different ..\java\jre\lib\security\java.security files
So when you are testing the Sun Java, use d:\jdk\bin\java.exe, but when testing IBM's, use D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\bin\java.exe

Thanks, John.
I do indeed have the .jar in the file I'm testing from.
I just tried running the java.exe from the IBM/Websphere folder, and ended up with the same results (and I edited both java.security files to include the bouncycastle line)

Which java version are you using?
> E:\jdk\bin\java.exe -version
> D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\bin\java.exe -version

Pasting so I don't risk losing any of the version info:
D:\LawsonInstalls\BouncyCastle>D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\bin\java.exe -version
java version "1.6.0"

Whenever doing a Bouncy Castle install, document and perform entire process first for Sun Java JDK, then the process for IBM WebSphere Java JDK (there are some differences, such as the policy .jar files are different and the java.security entries are different). Your instructions appear to be jumbled/mixed between the two, and that is likely leading to your problems. Also, make sure the version of the bc*.jar files matches which JDK version you are using...ie.. bcprov-jdk16*.jar goes with JDK 1.6; bcprov-jdk15*.jar goes with JDK 1.5, etc.

I'll make the suggested changes, thanks.
However, am I right in assuming the versions are ok based on my last post?

You should be using the bcprov-ext-jdk16-145.jar.

There are two sets of JCE, one from SUN and one from IBM. they apply to the corresponding JDKs.

Recheck all the steps. You missed something during the install.

Edited my procedure as suggested (shown below). I originally only had the IBM JCE...I have downloaded the one from Sun as well, and copied it's files out. I'm getting two slightly different errors tho....

Procedure:
23. Install Bouncy Castle Encryption
a. Copy bcprov-jdk16-145.jar to both D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\lib\ext (creating the folder if necessary) and D:\jdk\jre\lib\ext
<SUN Setup>

b. Copy local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar from the D:\LawsonInstalls\BouncyCastle\Sun directory to D:\jdk\jre\lib\security (first renaming the two files in D:\jdk\jre\lib\security to something else for backup purposes)

c. Open the file D:\jdk\jre\lib\security\java.security with Notepad++ (found in the installs\utils folder).

d. Add a new line after security.provider.3: security.provider.4=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider

e. Increment all numbers on the following lines
<IBM Setup>

f. Copy local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar from the D:\LawsonInstalls\BouncyCastle\IBM directory to D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\jre\lib\security

g. Open the file D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\jre\lib\security\java.security with Notepad++ (found in the installs\utils folder).

h. Add a new line after security.provider.3: security.provider.4=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider

i. Increment all numbers on the following lines

j. Create an environment variable named WASJAVA and set it to D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\bin
<TESTING>

k. Test with the following procedure:
i. Open command prompt window and go to D:\LawsonInstalls\BouncyCastle
ii. Type the following command:
d:\jdk\bin\java.exe –cp bctest-jdk16-145.jar org.bouncycastle.crypto.test.RegressionTest > jdkcrypto1.out 2>&1
iii. Type the following command:
%WASJAVA%\java.exe –cp bctest-jdk16-145.jar org.bouncycastle.crypto.test.RegressionTest > jdkcrypto2.out 2>&1
iv. Both Outfiles may have some errors, bbut must say DESede: Okay

The IBM test was copy/pasted right from my procedure, and I've double-checked that i used -cp, not ?cp

Make sure you are copying bcprov-jdk16-145.jar to the correct location.
For example, you have:
Copy bcprov-jdk16-145.jar to D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\lib\ext
Should be
Copy bcprov-jdk16-145.jar to D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\jre\lib\ext

One other idea; the copy/paste might be the problem, since neither one is working. If you are copy/pasting from Word, the document might have the -cp stored as an emdash instead of a real dash. Try typing in the command without doing the cut/paste,

Ahh, progress.
John-
both of your posts were correct. I had the file in the wrong directory in IBM and I think the copy/paste was also a culprit. Here's the errors I get now:

Are you getting these on the jce tests?
if so I think you have bad JCE Sun / IBM policy .jar files

It's definitely possibly...I had a bit of trouble finding them, however they were both downloaded from respective sites (IBM.com/Sun's site).
Would someone have links to the correct downloads just so I know I have the correct ones?

Just wondering if you are using the "unrestricted.zip" file for the Websphere side?

Jeff

Just verified and yes, I felt a bit more confident on the IBM file, and it was indeed the unrestricted.zip.

IBM JCE links (works i just tested), you will need to create an IBM profile to download

Still getting the same error running the IBM Java.exe. Just to confirm, I just need to drop the 2 jar files into the directory..no running or configuring from there, correct?
I'm just about to the point of having our Systems team relaod this virtual back to the original state before I installed anything...WAS is still not working correctly, and at this point I'm thinking there were too many minor configuration issues that are probably now all snowballing to cause me all sorts of issues, but I'd still love to figure this piece out before I get to that point

Almost there. The IBM side was failing because I was using bcprov-jdk16-145.jar instead of bcprov-ext-jdk16-145.jar. I now get an ok test on the IBM side, but the JDK side is still failing with
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/bouncycastle/crypto/DataLengthException

I have the jar files copied to D:\JDK\jre\lib\ext
Could this be the issue? any other ideas? I'm getting so close, I'd really like to put this issue to rest.
-Brian Hynes

And, I guess, is this indeed the correct command for testing on the JDK side?
d:\jdk\bin\java.exe –cp bctest-jdk16-145.jar org.bouncycastle.crypto.test.RegressionTest > jdkcrypto1.txt 2>&1

when you do a "where java" in command prompt, what do you see?

Also, when you install Sun JDK 1.6.0.21, it installs JDK and JRE. Apply BC to both of them and test again.

where java gives d:\jdk\bin
c:\windows\system32\
and
d:\jdk\jre\bin

Where should the .jar file be on the jdk side? d:\jdk\lib\ext? (ext doesn't exist by default)

When i install Sun JDK. I usually specify D:\JDK for the jdk install. Then the second part of the install for JRE I usually specify D:\JRE for example, so it would be clear.

Then I would set:
JAVA_HOME = D:\JDK
LAW_JAVA_BIN = D:\JDK\bin etc

After that, put bcprov-ext-jdk16-145.jar in:
D:\JDK\jre\lib\ext (this location is for the JDK install)
D:\JRE\lib\ext (this location is for the JRE install)

put your sun JCE files (local_policy.jar/US_export_policy.jar) in:
D:\JDK\jre\lib\security
D:\JRE\lib\security

modify the java.security files in:
D:\JDK\jre\lib\security
D:\JRE\lib\security

under your PATH variables in system properties:
D:\JDK\bin should come BEFORE
c:\windows\system32 and d:\jdk\jre\bin

just figured it out...
I don't know if this is because i'm on a 64 bit server, but that's my hunch...
In D:\jdk, I have both a JRE folder and JRE6 folder. I made all of the changes that I was previously making in JRE also in JRE6. The tests now work successfully.
Thanks to everyone for helping!

Your JRE folder is the first part of the JDK install, then you probably specified JRE6 for your JRE install. That's why.
