Federation Encryption Issue with JCE on Solaris (71293)

Problem: There is an issue with the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) and Federation Security Services encryption when an Federation Security Services Policy Server on Solaris is using JRE 1.5.0.12. When the Policy Server is acting as an IdP, SAML assertion encryption may fail. If the Policy Server is acting as an SP, SAML assertion decryption may fail.

Solution: Modify the java.security file in jre_root/lib/security so that the sun.security.provider.Sun provider is registered as the first provider.

Note: Other supported platform with later versions of Java may also exhibit this problem. Apply the same solution.
