You need to add to Your JRE - java unlimited strength policy, eg.: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-6-download-429243.html Please replace local_policy and us_export_policy on the server's JRE path (\lib\security) Other version of JCE policies can be found on oracle web pages.
