Hi,

Could you try moving the cryptix-jce-provider.jar to the Tomcat shared/lib folder.

Cheers

Thanks for the quick feedback.

That worked. I got a hibernate exception, but I guess the reason is that I haven't configured MySQL yet.

A little suggestion: The prepackaged alfresco/tomcat distribution should have put the cryptix-jca-provider.jar in the shared/lib directory so we don't have to figure this part out.

Hi,

This is only the second time I've heard of this problem. What environment are you running in ?, have you made any changes to the default Java setup such as additional jars in the lib/ext folder or changes to properties files ?.

Cheers

I'm running Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy) with Sun's jdk1.5.0_06. The jdk haven't been changed in any way other than adding some of the Linux truetype fonts. The following statement is on top of startup.sh script in tomcat/bin directory:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jdk1.5.0_06

None of Alfrescos property files have been altered.

I'll grab a copy of Ubuntu and have a look into that.

If you don't want to install Ubuntu, I would recommend using WMWare Player which is a no-cost virtualization software. Very nice when trying out for instance Ubuntu.

Hi,

I use VMWare, I've got a Workstation licence, excellent bit of software.

I've installed Ubuntu and added Java 1.5 and the Alfresco 1.2 RC2 bundle. I've managed to get the Alfresco CIFS server working, had to set the domain name and broadcast mask in the file-servers.xml config file.

I've not been able to provoke the MD4/Cryptix exception here.

Cheers
