Java how to - SSL/TLS upgrade

Use BouncyCastle for SSL/TLS on VMS Alpha:

To use a newer SSL/TLS version that what is available in Java 1.5/5 on VMS Alpha download BouncyCastle JSSE provider and use that.

Run Java with:

java -cp .:bctls-jdk15on-159.jar:bcprov-jdk15on-159.jar "-Djava.security.properties=tlsfix.security" ...

where tlsfix.security is a clone of java.security with BouncyCastle added as the first provider:

security.provider.1=org.bouncycastle.jsse.provider.BouncyCastleJsseProvider
