Sage X3 12.0.23 Install - Mongodb Install 4.0.18.78 Error - JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC (Bouncy Castle) - ???

Question

When installing MongoDB 4.0.18.78, I'm encountering the error below. "Error in validator : exception encrypting data - java.lang.SecurityException: JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC". There are some instructions regarding bouncy castle when initially opening the Mongo installer which are shown below. I've added a line to the JRE/java security file for bouncy castle, but I'm not sure where to find the zip file mentioned? Not sure how to resolve this error?

Here are the instructions which are displayed when you run the MongoDB installer.

What version of Java is this system on? I'm looking at KB 106113 that mentions the Mongo 4 installer hanging after validating certificates. (You have to be on JDK 8 update 151, but it has to be 8.)

Hi Mj, 
 
 Few things to look out for in this scenario 
 1)Make sure that your JAVA JDK 8 version is higher that 151.But it had to be JDK 8 
 2)Make sure the contents of the bcprovider are in the java folder mentioned. There should be 2 files 
 3)Editing the security file is where most people make the error 
 In the java.security file search for the section where you will find similar security.provider(n) entry 
 It should be as below 
 security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun security.provider.2=sun.security.rsa.SunRsaSign security.provider.3=sun.security.ec.SunEC security.provider.4=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider security.provider.5=com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE security.provider.6=sun.security.jgss.SunProvider security.provider.7=com.sun.security.sasl.Provider security.provider.8=org.jcp.xml.dsig.internal.dom.XMLDSigRI security.provider.9=sun.security.smartcardio.SunPCSC security.provider.10=sun.security.mscapi.SunMSCAPI security.provider.11=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider 
 line 11 is the one we have to add and it has to be a numbered sequence and do not leave (n) as it is. 
 
 4)The last step is to check the crypto policy which is usually set as unlimited. 
 
 Do all this and run the installation and you should not see any errors 
 
 Cheers
