Referencing [1], there appears to be no written answer for how to patch
geoserver with strong cryptography in the Java container, so I thought I'd
write it up very briefly here. Without this, GeoServer throws a warning that
"No strong cryptography available, Installation of the unrestricted policy jar
files is recommended."
Download of the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) is what fixes this. Goto:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Scroll to the bottom and choose the appropriate download for your JVM, either
Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 7
or
Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 6
and follow the instructions to replace the local_policy.jar and
US_export_policy.jar. GeoServer will report:
"Strong cryptography available"
Best,
Steve
