Resolution
Apply the JCE files to the JDK installation that you've set with the
Policy Server :
JCE—Verify that JRE supports unlimited key strength in the Java
Cryptography Extension (JCE) package.
For JDK 1.8_151 and later, perform the following steps:
Navigate to the jdk_home/jre/lib/security directory and open the java.security file.
Uncomment the following line:
crypto.policy=unlimited
Save the file.
For the other previous versions of JDK, perform the following steps:
Locate the JCE package for your operating system from the Oracle
website.
Download the unlimited JCE package for the Java version that is
supported by CA Single Sign-On.
Navigate to the jdk_home\jre\lib\security directory on your system
and apply the patch to the following files:
local_policy.jar
US_export_policy.jar
jdk_home specifies the location of the Java installation.
