Question

When trying to install a module using Maven, it throws up the following error:

org.jasypt.exceptions.EncryptionOperationNotPossibleException:
Encryption raised an exception.
A possible cause is you are using strong encryption algorithms and you have not 
installed the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength 
Jurisdiction Policy Files in this Java Virtual Machine

The application properties are encoded like this:

app.check.url=ENC(sCO3322RNYdt3wPfO04GoaN9PijwJzUcn9rb4ggHymA\=)

And my spring configuration looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

        </list>
    </property>

    <property name="algorithm" value="PBEWithMD5AndTripleDES"/>
    <property name="passwordEnvName" value="APP_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD"/>
</bean>

And I have jdk 1.7 which does have the necessary JCE files for the encryption.

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

you did not install jce,by default present in lib\security.But its not accessed or used.please download jce files and overwrite the existing files.see your error itself you have not installed the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE)
