I am having problems installing IBM as a provider in a S390 machine. Hope that someone could give me some tips over this.

I have tried putting IBMJCEfw.jar, IBMJCEProvider.jar, US_export_policy.jar and local_policy.jar is already in the /lib/ext directory and also classpath.

The java.security file the following entries

security.provider.1=com.ibm.security.provider.IBMJCE
security.provider.2=sun.security.provider.Sun

I have tried reversing the two and it still does not work. I have even tried adding IBMJCA.

I note that unless I put Sun as the first provider, I get a null when I do a jarsigner --verify on my jar files.

The following in my error printStack....
