Spring config server security encryption and decryption not working

Question

I am using spring config server and spring security. I have followed the link https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-config/multi/multi__spring_cloud_config_server.html I have added JCF in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171\jre\lib\security folder. When I post localhost:8080/encrypt { "description": "The encryption algorithm is not strong enough", "status": "INVALID" } This response comes. Please let me know the issue.

Answer 1

if you are getting {"description": "The encryption algorithm is not strong enough", "status": "INVALID" } response.The solution is just create bootstrap.properties file in config server and add encrypt.key="Secrete Key" property.

Answer 2

Disclaimer: I am running org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-config-server:2.0.6.RELEASE.

It's not just enought to enable unlimited crypto policy (btw, it is by default starting from jdk8.161), but you have to also provide (in case you want to use symmetric cryptography) encrypt.key property.

You can find it down the documentation: http://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-config/2.0.x/single/spring-cloud-config.html#_key_management

PS: Set it within bootstrap.properties.
