Issue/Introduction

Sometimes during the installation of the product We are getting this error:

We are not able to install CA IDM 14.When I entered Web Server Application Information and click on NEXT It is stuck on the same screen. Attaching the screenshot of the screen 

When using the installer debug, is shows this message:

$CC_JCE_ROOT$ = D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer/java_1.7.1_64

Run command array: [D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer/java_1.7.1_64\jre\bin\java, -cp, /C:/Users/user_admin/AppData/Local/Temp/I1488469919/InstallerData/Execute.zip,

 

 com.netegrity.brlib.customcode.JCEStrengthReader, false] <OUT>

 

Also Sometimes during integration of IM and SM, you get smjavaagentapi init -1 at startup step two.

 

How do you to test if the JCE unlimited strength crypto files have been installed properly? 

Resolution

Navigate to your JDK home folder and create a file called testUnlimitedStrength.java

Edit the file and add this to the contents:

 

          import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;

          import javax.crypto.Cipher;

 

          public class testUnlimitedStrength

          {

            public static void main(final String[] args)

            {

              int strength = 0;

              try {

                strength = Cipher.getMaxAllowedKeyLength("AES");

 

                if ( strength > 2147483646 ){

                   System.out.printf("isUnlimitedSupported=TRUE Cypher Strength: ");

                   System.out.println(strength);

 

                } 

                else {

                  System.out.printf("isUnlimitedSupported=FALSE");

                  System.out.println(strength);

                }

              } 

              catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {

                System.out.println("I cannot tell because I do not know AES");

              }

            }

          }

 

Save the file

From the command prompt of the jdk/bin directory run

  javac testUnlimitedStrength.java

Then from the command prompt of the jdk/bin directory run

  java testUnlimitedStrength

 

This should return: 

isUnlimitedSupported=TRUE Cypher Strength: 2147483647

Additional Information

Common errors:

    During compile you get this or similar:

        testUnlimitedStrengthh.java:4: error: class testUnlimitedStrength is public, should be declared in a file named testUnlimitedStrength.java

    Your file name is not correct and should be testUnlimitedStrength.java
