Prepare for the Bouncy Castle update

Use the steps to prepare for the one-time Bouncy Castle update.

  1. With the Lawson system running, turn Security off.

    lsconfig -c <ssoconfig password> OFF

    Note: Ensure your user community is restricted from accessing Lawson Portal and/or LID while the Lawson security is turned off.
  2. Stop WebSphere. This includes all application servers and clusters, nodes and the Deployment Manager.
  3. Stop all Infor Lawson System Foundation environments.
    Note: If you have multiple environments on one machine, you will need to stop all of them.
  4. Stop all third-party applications that are using the JDK under JAVA_HOME. ​
    Note: This includes applications not associated with Infor Lawson System Foundation and Infor Lawson products.
  5. Back up and remove all Bouncy Castle provider JAR files (bcprov*.jar) under:
    • WAS_HOME/java_version/jre/lib/ext

      Where java_version is replaced with the directory path of each version of Java installed/available to your profile(s).

    • JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/
  6. Back up all java.security files under:
    • WAS_HOME/java_version/jre/lib/security

      Where java_version is replaced with the directory path of each version of Java installed/available to your profile(s).

    • JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security
    Note: Do not remove the java.security files.
