java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: PKCS11 KeyStore not available, Trying to Enable FIPS mode using...












4














I'm trying to enable FIPS mode using SUNPKCS11 with NSS in Java 11. I got this exception java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: PKCS11 KeyStore not available.



When I tried to enable FIPS in Java 8 it works fine but doing the same in Java 11 throws the exception.



The initialization of SUNPKCS11 changed from Java 8 to Java 11.



In Java 8:



  Provider provider = Security.getProvider("SunPKCS11");      
provider.configure(nssConfigFile);


Java 11:



  Provider provider = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(nssConfigFile);
Security.addProvider(nssProvider);


After the initialization of SUNPKCS11 with config file, I'm trying to get the provider from the keystore as below.

One more thing is when I initialized the SUNPKCS11, it's Provider.id.info is set to
Unconfigured and unusable PKCS11 provider , Does this has some thing to do with?



KeyStore.getInstance("SUNPKCS11");


Then here I didn't have the PKCS11 in keystore.



My config file content look as below:



  name=nss-client   
nssLibraryDirectory=X:XXXNSSlib
nssSecmodDirectory=X:XXXNSSdb
nssModule=fips


Do I need to change something in the config file contents or is it a bug in Java 11?



Please help me with the valuable suggestions.

  • Did you take a look at SunPKCS11 provider in Java 9 ?

  • yeah but i didn't get what you are trying to mention. Do I need to pass the config params and string rather than passing file or mention the slot id?
