SecureRandom: the SUN provider is not available and the provider is not overridable about googleauth HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @rhussel,

The library currently gets a SecureRandom instance using the SecureRandom#getInstance method and specifying the SHA1PRNG algorithm and the SUN provider. So, the system you are using has no access to this implementation. What is it, out of curiosity?

However, the non-overridability of the provider and algorithm the library is using is an outstanding issue I'm aware of.

I'm renaming this issue for clarity's sake and leave it open until this one is resolved.

@rhussel,

You should now be able to override the random number generator algorithm and provider using the latest release (v. 0.5.0) which has already been published on the Sonatype's Central Repository. Please, check out its documentation to see how to do it.

hi @emcrisostomo, we can use SUN provider even when we run openjdk right? Any idea when this would fail? (or when SUN provider will not be available?)

Hey, how did you solve the problem? Can you please share?

Hi @motcwang, yes the problem is solved and yes, I can share. I'm quoting myself a couple of posts ago:

Did you check the documentation? Hint: Section 3.1, Random Number Generator Algorithm and Provider.

List secure rendom providers list using

Provider[] secureRandomProviders = Security.getProviders("SecureRandom.SHA1PRNG");

You can get name of provider (if any) using

secureRandomProviders[0].getName();
