BouncyCastle not registered, using the default JCE provider

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Hi,

I am having a very weird problem with sshj.

When running my test code from within eclipse [mine is a Maven project], I dont have any issues at all.

But the moment I try to convert my project into an assembly jar and then try to run it from the command prompt, I see this :

Dec 11, 2012 8:30:58 PM net.schmizz.sshj.common.SecurityUtils$BouncyCastleRegistration run

Any idea what might be going wrong ? I manually checked my assembly jar and I do see the bouncy-castle jar part of my assembly jar [ One of the observations made in this issue https://github.com/shikhar/sshj/issues/36 was hinting at Bouncy castle jar missing ]

Here's how my dependencies looks like :

<dependencies>

<dependency>

<groupId>org.bouncycastle</groupId>

<artifactId>bcprov-jdk16</artifactId>

<version>1.46</version>

<scope>runtime</scope>

</dependency>

<dependency>

<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>

<artifactId>slf4j-jdk14</artifactId>

<version>1.6.1</version>

</dependency>

<dependency>

<groupId>commons-cli</groupId>

<artifactId>commons-cli</artifactId>

<version>1.2</version>

</dependency>

<dependency>

<groupId>net.schmizz</groupId>

<artifactId>sshj</artifactId>

<version>0.6.0</version>

</dependency>

</dependencies>

I have wrecked my brains the whole day and I still CANNOT figure out what is going wrong.

Any takers for this question ?

Since I didn't hear anything on this thread, I decided to skip using sshj and moved over to using "JSch" and got it done.

You have to activate bouncycastle on your tomcat server. For security reasons this by standard not allowed by deployed WARs so copying "bcpkix-jdk15on-1.48.jar" and "bcprov-jdk15on-1.48.jar" to the "tomcat6/common" directory would do the trick!

Timmy,

There are NO tom cat servers involved here because mine is NOT a web application but is a simple plain standalone java application built using Maven.
