Author Cryptix not working with WAS 6.1

2006-10-28, 1:41 pm

Hi,

I am using criptix for encryption in my application using cryptix32.jar.
I have tested the my application with cryptix32.jar on WAS 6.0.2.9 and it is working fine.

When I tried to deploy the applciation on WAS 6.1 it gave me following exception. Should I need to upgrade the cryptix ? to which version? or do I need to make any changes in WAS configuration.

Hi,

I found that WAS 6.1 is using JDK 1.5 and WAS 6.0.2.9 uses JDK 1.4

Cryptix32 does not support 1,5 and not even Cryptix JCE support JDK 1.5

I there any other cryptix I can use which is suitable to for WAS 6.1? Do I need to disable any setting in wAS to get a workaroud ?

Thanks,
Aniket

Is there any particular reason that you can't use the IBM provider that
is built into WAS ?

I also ran into same problem.

I am using IBM Provider for my own stuff but my application is using web
access management APIs by BMC. This third party software is built on
Cryptix3.2. Unfortunately they don't have any upgrade plans yet :-(

So either I need to bypass BMC stuff or wait.

You have to wonder why people would build provider dependent software -
the whole of having specifications for things like JCE and JSSE is so
that the application can be provider agnostic ...
