ENCRYPT: algorithm provider only half implemented
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-1279
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1279
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Bela Ban
            Assignee: Bela Ban
             Fix For: 2.6.19, 2.12


[Dennis Reed]

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.
