Error parsing private key for Box Developer Edition.

[majoely]

I am getting the error above when testing the CreateAppUser.java code.

I have downloaded both the pre-compiled jar from oss.sonatype.org and I have downloaded the source and compiled it and the error appears in both.

I followed the instructions for generation the public/private key pair and it looks fine.

When I googled parts of the stack trace "PBKDF-OpenSSL" it was suggesting that I should be searching for "PBKDF2-OpenSSL" but from what I could see that was part of the bouncycastle code.

I have been looking into this on and off for a couple of days now and have run out of options. Is this the right place to be bringing this up?

Here is the stacktrace:

@bgoldman might have a clue

Same problem here on attempting to get a BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection:

Unable to create OpenSSL PBDKF: PBKDF-OpenSSL SecretKeyFactory not available

I was using the 1.53 versions (latest at the moment) of the BouncyCastle jars. When I switched to the prior version (1.52) this error disappeared.

[majoely]

I was using 1.53 as well, changed to 1.52 and error went away.

@majoely or @dwilcoxen ,How do you change the version? Are you using Maven?

[dwilcoxen]

I'm not using Maven, just a library of jar files that I downloaded.

[bcgit]

The stack trace indicates the JcePEMDecryptorProviderBuilder has not been configured to use the BC provider.
