Java Encryption

The Bouncy Castle and unlimited strength JCE policy files add the encryption algorithms required for Lawson Single Sign-on.

During the Lawson installation, you will select the algorithms you want to use. However, not all algorithms are compatible with all versions of JDK. If you select an incompatible algorithm during the installation, an error message will prompt you to choose a different algorithm.

Some customers may want to use a specific algorithm. After completing this section, Lawson recommends that you use the regression tests provided by Bouncy Castle to verify that your algorithm is compatible with your JDK before you begin the installation. See the Lawson Core Technology Installation Guide for more information.

Note: Bouncy Castle is added to all JDKs used by the Lawson system before you install any Lawson products. Repeat the steps below for all JDKs consumed by the Lawson system, for example:

  • The JDK defined as JAVA_HOME and LAW_JAVA_HOME on the Lawson server.

  • The JDK delivered with and used by the application server.

  • Any JDKs consumed by other Lawson products that use Lawson Single Sign-on via the Distributed SSO solution (for example, Lawson Business Intelligence (LBI) applications such as Smart Notification and Framework Services).
