Configure the JVM to Use the JSafeJCE Security Provider

The SiteMinder WSS Agent XML encryption function requires that the JVM is configured to use the JSafeJCE security provider.

Follow these steps:

Add a security provider entry for JSafeJCE (com.rsa.jsafe.provider.JsafeJCE) to the java.security file located in the following location:
- JRE_HOME\lib\security (Windows)
- JRE_HOME/lib/security (UNIX)
JRE_HOME

Is the installed location of the JRE used by the application server.

In the following example, the JSafeJCE security provider entry has been added as the second security provider:
```
security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun
security.provider.2=com.rsa.jsafe.provider.JsafeJCE
security.provider.3=sun.security.rsa.SunRsaSign
security.provider.4=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider
security.provider.5=com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE
security.provider.6=sun.security.jgss.SunProvider
security.provider.7=com.sun.security.sasl.Provider
```
Note: If using the IBM JRE, always configure the JSafeJCE security provider immediately after (that is with a security provider number one higher than) the IBMJCE security provider (com.ibm.crypto.provider.IBMJCE)
Add the following line to JRE_HOME\lib\security\java.security (Windows) or JRE_HOME/lib/security/java.security (UNIX) to set the initial FIPS mode of the JsafeJCE security provider:
```
com.rsa.cryptoj.fips140initialmode=NON_FIPS140_MODE
```
Note: The initial FIPS mode does not affect the final FIPS mode you select for the SiteMinder WSS Agent.
