Changes to Installing Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 7

Disregard the Installing Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy File 7 task in the Replication Agent Administration Guide.

1. Follow the intsructions in the Replication Agent Installation Guide to install the Replication Agent.

   As of 15.7.1 SP120 and later version, Replication Agent does not include the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files for maximum strength (256-bit) password encryption. By default, Replication Agent 15.7.1 SP120 and later version defaults to 128-bit password encryption.

2. Download the JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 7 from the Oracle Website.
3. Extract the UnlimitedJCEPolicyJDK7.zip and copy the content of the zip file in the Replication Agent installation directory.
   • On Windows – %SYBASE%\RAX-15_5\JRE7\lib\security
   • On UNIX – $SYBASE/RAX-15_5/JRE7/lib/security

   Note: If you choose to use the default strength (128-bit) password encryption, you must delete the existing passwords and reset them.
   1. Delete the existing password encryption string:

      ra_admin –k <instance>

      where instance is the name of your Replication Agent instance.

      Note: Deleting the existing passwords will delete the Replication Agent system administrator, primary data server (PDS), SAP Replication Server and Replication Server System Database (RSS) user passwords and if you are replicating data definition language (DDL), the DDL user password is also deleted.
   2. Reset the Replication Agent system administrator password by issuing:

      ra_admin -reset <instance>

   3. Restart the Replication Agent instance.
   4. Reset the password for PDS, SAP Replication Server, RSSD, and DDL user by issuing:

      ra_config pds_password, <password>

      ra_config rs_password, <password>

      ra_config rssd_password, <password>

      ra_config ddl_password, <password>

      where password is the new password value.

4. Resume replication.
