Illegal key size or default parameters

When you run the pre-defined security scenarios in the WSO2 ESB most probably you already faced the Illegal key size or default parameters exception

Reason for this issue could be not installed JCE file to your JRE. First you can check after install JCE file on your JRE. To confirm JCE file installed correctly, you can find following Java source.


public class JCETest {

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        int maxKeyLen = 0;
        try {
            maxKeyLen = Cipher.getMaxAllowedKeyLength("AES");
        } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
            Assert.fail();
        }

        Assert.assertEquals(2147483647, maxKeyLen);
        System.out.println(maxKeyLen);
    }
}





AES key size should be equal to the 2147483647 if JCE files has been installed sucessfully.

How to enable proxy service security in ESB 4.9.0?




























  Security is  one of the major concern when we developing API base integrations or application developments. WSO2 supports WS Security , WS-Policy  and WS-Security Policy  specifications. These specifications define a behavior model for web services. Proxy service security requirements are different from each others.   WSO2 ESB  providing pre-define commonly used twenty security scenarios to choose based on the security requirements. This functionality is provided by the security management feature which is bundled by default in service management feature in ESB. This configuration can be done via the web console until ESB 4.8.1 release, but this has been removed from the ESB 4.9.0. Even though this feature isn't provided by the ESB web console itself same functionality can be achieved by the new WSO2 Dev Studio . WSO2 always motivate to use dev studio to prepare required artifacts to the ESB rather than the web console. Better way to explain this scenario is by example. Following

How to preserving HTTP headers in WSO2 ESB 4.9.0 ?




























    Preserving HTTP headers are important when executing backend services via applications/middleware. This is because most of the time certain important headers are removed or modified by the applications/middleware which run the communication.   The previous version of our WSO2 ESB, version 4.8.1, only supported “ server ” and “ user agent ” header fields to preserve with, but with the new ESB 4.9.0, we’ve introduced a new new property ( http.headers.preserve ) for the passthru ( repository/conf/ passthru-http.properties ) and Nhttp( repository/conf/ nhttp.properties ) transporters to preserve more HTTP headers.     Passthru transporter – support header fields                 Location  Keep-Alive  Content-Length  Content-Type  Date  Server  User-Agent  Host    Nhttp transport – support headers   Server  User-Agent  Date        You can specify header fields which should be preserved in a comma-separated list, as shown below.   http.headers.preserve = Location, Date, Server   Note that

How to monitor the Thread CPU usage in the WSO2 Products?




























 1. Download JConsole topthreads  Plugin.   2. Add following entries to the PRODUCT_HOME/bin/wso2server.sh      -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote \      -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=PORT \      -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false \      -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false \      -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=IP_ADDRESS \  Define your IP_ADDRESS  address and PORT  (port should be not used anywhere in that instance)   3. Run the JConsole using following command.      jconsole -pluginpath PATH_TO_JAR/topthreads-1.1.jar   4. Copy "JMXServerManager JMX Service URL" from the wso2carbon logs after restart the Wso2 Server (Eg:- service:jmx:rmi://localhost:11111/jndi/rmi://localhost:9999/jmxrmi) to the Remote process with the username and password.   5. Under Top Threads  tab you can monitor the thread CPU usage.
