hello, i have a problem with encrypting email that was send to an external user. i have read the administrator and smime guide, and had no problem with the basic setup. i installed the Djigzo VMware virtual appliance 1.2.3 at this time i had created a CA, an internal domain, an internal user and a external user. the encryption mode for this external user is set mandatory and on the Select encryption certificates page the certificate is shown in green colour. but when i send an email from the internal user to the external user i will get these error massage in the MPA log: 09 Jul 2009 08:40:30 | ERROR IOException.

Hi Andreas, Are you 100% sure you installed the "Java Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files"? You can check if the jce policy file is correctly installed by opening the JCE policy manager in Djigzo (Admin -\> JCE Policy) Is the JCE policy correctly installed? If you installed it did you restart Djigzo? (it need to restart after the install of the jce policy files) Kind regards, Martijn Brinkers Andreas Schubert wrote: > **···** > > > hello, > > > > i have a problem with encrypting email that was send to an external user. > > > > i have read the administrator and smime guide, and had no problem with the basic > > setup. > > i installed the Djigzo VMware virtual appliance 1.2.3 > > at this time i had created a CA, an internal domain, an internal user and a > > external user. > > the encryption mode for this external user is set mandatory and on the Select > > encryption certificates page the certificate is shown in green colour. > > but when i send an email from the internal user to the external user i will get > > these error massage in the MPA log: > > > > 09 Jul 2009 08:40:30 | ERROR IOException. > > (mitm.application.djigzo.james.mailets.SMIMEEncrypt) [Spool Thread #2] > > org.bouncycastle.mail.smime.SMIMEEnvelopedGenerator$WrappingIOException: > > org.bouncycastle.cms.CMSException: key invalid in message. at > > org.bouncycastle.mail.smime.SMIMEEnvelopedGenerator$ContentEncryptor.write(Unknown > > Source) at > > org.bouncycastle.mail.smime.handlers.PKCS7ContentHandler.writeTo(Unknown Source) > > at javax.activation.ObjectDataContentHandler.writeTo(Unknown Source) at > > javax.activation.DataHandler.writeTo(Unknown Source) at > > javax.mail.internet.MimeBodyPart.writeTo(MimeBodyPart.java:1381) at > > javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage.writeTo(MimeMessage.java:1742) at > > javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage.writeTo(MimeMessage.java:1718) at > > mitm.common.mail.MailUtils.validateMessage(MailUtils.java:207) > > at > > mitm.application.djigzo.james.mailets.SMIMEEncrypt.serviceMail(SMIMEEncrypt.java:259) > > at > > mitm.application.djigzo.james.mailets.AbstractDjigzoMailet.service(AbstractDjigzoMailet.java:226) > > at org.apache.james.transport.LinearProcessor.service(LinearProcessor.java:424) > > at > > org.apache.james.transport.JamesSpoolManager.process(JamesSpoolManager.java:405) > > at org.apache.james.transport.JamesSpoolManager.run(JamesSpoolManager.java:309) > > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:636)Caused by: > > org.bouncycastle.cms.CMSException: key invalid in message. at > > org.bouncycastle.cms.CMSEnvelopedDataStreamGenerator.open(Unknown Source) at > > org.bouncycastle.mail.smime.SMIMEEnvelopedGenerator$EnvelopedGenerator.open(Unknown > > Source) at org.bouncycastle.cms.CMSEnvelopedDataStreamGenerator.open(Unknown > > Source) at org.bouncycastle.cms.CMSEnvelopedDataStreamGenerator.open(Unknown > > Source) ... 14 moreCaused by: java.security.InvalidKeyException: Illegal key > > size at javax.crypto.Cipher.checkCryptoPerm(Cipher.java:972) at > > javax.crypto.Cipher.checkCryptoPerm(Cipher.java:993) at > > javax.crypto.Cipher.init(Cipher.java:1394) ... 18 more > > > > what ist going wrong? > > > > regards > > > > Andreas Schubert > > Dipl.-Ing.
