This post Java Security: Illegal key size or default parameters? suggest that I need to install the unlimited strength files. I have done that but still having the same issue. Would be thankful if anyone please give me an insight on this.

Thanks.

I also encountered your problem.

You can find the jre that your soapui uses by going to Help-> System Properties.

Look for the line java.home Mine was (java.home=/Applications/SoapUI-4.6.4.app/Contents/PlugIns/jre.bundle/Contents/Home/jre) (using an older soap-ui version because from 5.1 the decryption was broken somehow)

so in that jre folder go to the lib/security subfolder and paste the zip contents of the corresponding java version zip file:

(soapui 4.6 is java 7) Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 7 Download

(soapui 5.2 is java 8) Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 8 Download
