We can migrate the unrestricted jurisdiction policy files, local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar.
To use encryption keys that are greater than 128-bits, use the unrestricted jurisdiction policy files, local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar.
The files are located in the [WAS_HOME/java/jre/lib/security] directory.
If your back-level version of WebSphere Application Server is using the unrestricted jurisdiction policy files, perform special steps to migrate these files to your new version of WAS. If you are not using the unrestricted jurisdiction policy files, we do not need to take any action.
- Before migrating, copy the modified local_policy.jar file to a temporary location.
- Migrate the WAS installation.
- Copy the modified local_policy.jar file from step 1 to the following directory on the new WAS installation: WAS_HOME/java/jre/lib/security .
- Start the new WAS installation as normal.
