OK, I found the lib/security. It was under jre/lib not <jdk>/lib which
is where I looked when the docs said "java.security file in the
lib/security directory of your JDK installation..."

I've added the SunJCE entry and my code now works. But I notice that
the "security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun" line is commented
out by default and my code runs fine. The docs state: " This means that
when you install the "SunJCE" provider, you have to make sure that the
"SUN" provider is also installed."

"Installing" the SunJCE means adding an entry to the security file.
Apparently it doesn't mean the same thing for the "SUN" provider ??

thx, --emk@eng
