Required JRE Patch for SOA Security Gateway

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) used by the SOA Security Gateway must be patched to support unlimited key strength in the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) package. After installing the SOA Security Gateway, you must apply the patch to the JRE used by each SOA Security Gateway component:

• SOA Security Gateway
• SOA Security Gateway Management Console

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

  soa_home\SOASecurityGateway\win32\jre\lib\security

• Solaris

  soa_home/SOASecurityGateway/SunOS.sun4u-32/jre/lib/security

• Linux

  soa_home/SOASecurityGateway/Linux.i386/jre/lib/security

• soa_home

  Specifies the SOA Security Manager installation location. By default, this is:

  • Windows: C:\Program Files\CA\SOA Security Manager
  • Solaris: ~/CA/SOA_Security_Manager
  • Linux: ~/CA/SOA_Security_Manager

The patches for all supported platforms are available from Sun's website.
