Apply the Unlimited Cryptography Patch to the JRE for SOA Agents

Patch the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) used by the SOA Agent to support unlimited key strength in the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) package.

The WebSphere JRE is based on Sun's JRE on the Solaris platform; this patch is available at Sun's website. The patch for other platforms is available at IBM's website. See the IBM documentation for more details.

The files that need to be patched are:

• local_policy.jar
• US_export_policy.jar

The local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar files can found be in the following locations:

• Windows

  WS_HOME\java\jre\lib\security

• UNIX

  WS_HOME/java/jre/lib/security
