    Hi Team,

    We are getting the below error in Server systemErr.log. May i know if this is application code error or WebSphere JDK issue? Please provide the exact details if possible and workaround. 

    Iam using WAS ND 8.5.5.16 with IBM WebSphere SDK 7.0.10.45 & 8.0.5.37 Installed.

    Hello Mallikarjuna
    PBEWithMD5AndDES is the name of a Cipher Algorithm and it looks like either your JDK or JRE does not find the java class that implemented this algorithm.
    It could be a classpath issue - or someone from your security team decided that this algorithm is deprecated or an IBM patch decided not to work with that anymore.

    I think the implementation is included in IBMJECCA
    com.ibm.crypto.hdwrCCA.provider.PBEWithMD5AndDESCipher

    See the following link for reasons why that algorithm should not be used
    https://www.javamex.com/tutorials/cryptography/pbe_key_derivation.shtml

    Hello Mallikarjuna,
    as @Matthias Jungbauer mentioned this could be a classpath issue. But could you please past the whole exception? Which JDK are you actually using when running WAS? You said you have 7.0.10.45 & 8.0.5.37 installed - but which is used by the running application server? Where do you have the PBEWithMD5AndDES cipher configured so that it is used?

    I've searched my installation and found the class com.ibm.crypto.provider.PBEWithMD5AndDESCipher in the ibmjceprovider.jar file in Java's lib/ext directory being used by WebSphere:
    ===============================================
    Found: PBEWithMD5AndDESCipher
    Class: com.ibm.crypto.provider.PBEWithMD5AndDESCipher
    Package: com.ibm.crypto.provider
    Library Name: ibmjceprovider.jar
    Library Path: /home/xxxxxx/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/java/8.0/jre/lib/ext/ibmjceprovider.jar
    ===============================================

    Are you using custom encryption classes in your WebSphere Environment?
