> ENCRYPT allows the asym_provider to be specified.
> But it only uses it for the KeyGenerator lookup, not the Cipher lookup.
> And the sym_provider is hard-coded to null.
> Is there a reason the sym_provider isn't configurable, and that the providers aren't used for the Cipher lookups?
> This is causing issues for a customer, because they have an application that inserts a security provider at the beginning of the list.
> When JGroups first starts, it uses the default provider (BouncyCastle), but if there's a shun/reconnect after the application
> has inserted its provider, JGroups switches to the application's provider.  And since some members are now using a different provider,
> they can't communicate.
