| Installation of Bouncy Castle for use in TomEE itself is done in two |
| steps: |
| |
| [arabic] |
| . Add the Bouncy Castle provider jar to the `$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext` |
| directory |
| . Create a Bouncy Castle provider entry in the |
| `$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security` file |
| |
| The entry to `java.security` will look something like the following: |
| |
| [source,properties] |
| ---- |
| security.provider.N=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider |
| ---- |
| |
| Replace `N` with the order of precedence you would like to give Bouncy |
| Castle in comparison to the other providers in the file. *Recommended* |
| would be the last entry in the list -- `N` being the higest number in |
| the list. *Warning* that configuring Bouncy Castle as the first |
| provider, `security.provider.1`, may cause JVM errors. |
