OSB error:Cipher not initialized


Hi friends,
When testing OSB proxy service getting error "The invocation resulted in an error: Cipher not initialized."


*******************************Solution*************************************
As per oracle documatation,

 Due to the import restrictions of some countries, the jurisdiction policy files distributed with the JDK software have built-in restrictions on available cryptographic strength.
By default , the AES 256 cryptographic algorithm does not work with the JRE/JDK Oracle Service Bus uses. In order to make it work, JCE Extension jars ( Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files) should be used for the JDK Security.
Steps:

 1. Download JCE Extension jars from
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
(Under 'Additional resources' there is an 'Other downloads' section which has a link to the 'Java Cryptography Extension (JCE)).
2. Replace the two jars (US_export_policy.jar & local_policy.jar) in the <JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/security directory.
3. Restart the servers for the changes to take effect.

 Thanks
Souvik
