The Perforce Server at release 2012.1 or higher supports 256-bit SSL connections. Due to current US export control restrictions for some countries, the standard JDK package only comes with 128 bit encryption level cyphers. In order to use P4Java to connect to an SSL-enabled Perforce server, those living in eligible countries may download the unlimited strength JCE (Java Cryptography Extension) package and replace the current default cryptography jar files with the unlimited strength files. These can be downloaded at the following locations.
Java 6: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-6-download-429243.html
Java 7: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-7-download-432124.html
Java 8: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce8-download-2133166.html
The download contains a readme file that explains how to install the unlimited strength JCE. It will need to be installed on both the FlexDeploy server, and any endpoint that the plugin will be executed on.
