Required JRE Patch for SOA Agent for Web Servers

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) used by the SOA Agent for Web Servers must be patched to support unlimited key strength in the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) package.

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\webagent\jdk\1.4.2_12\jre\lib\security

• Solaris

  soa_home/webagent/jdk/1.4.2_12/jre/lib/security

• Linux

  soa_home/webagent/jdk/1.4.2_12/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.
