Valid on Linux

Symptom:

When I use BSAFE Crypto-J 4.0 as a JCE provider, the CA EEM authentication API takes 20 seconds to execute.

Solution:

This is an issue with Sun Java. The workaround for this issue is published on the following Sun site: http://bugs.sun.com/. Search for the bug ID: 4705093 to see the workaround. Follow the steps as a workaround:

• Set the EGD used by Java by setting the security property "java.security.egd" to "file:///dev/urandom"

or

• Set the system property, rather than the security property, "java.security.egd" from the command line as follows: ‑Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/./urandom
