Configuring a JVM for the Tomcat Server
To configure a JVM that will run the Tomcat server, perform the following steps. The location of the JVM is always determined by the administrator who configures the Tomcat server. Ensure that JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables are set.
To configure a JVM for the Tomcat server
Install the cryptography library (cryptoj.jar) in the following location:
- (Microsoft Windows) jdkDirectory\jre\lib\ext
- (UNIX) jdkDirectory/jre/lib/ext
BMC Atrium Single Sign-On uses RSA CryptoJ library (cryptoj.jar) for cryptographic functions. The RSA CryptoJ library can be acquired from Support or through another BMC Atrium Single Sign-On installation (using Tomcat/JVM).
- Perform the following modifications to the java.security file.
Add a new line to the end of providers' definition list, and ensure that the provider is sequentially numbered.
security.provider.x=com.rsa.jsafe.provider.JsafeJCE
x specifies the order in which the security providers will be searched.
The java.security file can be found at:- (Microsoft Windows) jdkDirectory\jre\lib\security
- (UNIX) jdkDirectory/jre/lib/security
