Local fix

Problem summary

• The IBM SecureRandom provider takes a long time to initialise
  due to the constraints imposed by FIPS compliance.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  6.0.0 SR9
  .
  A new none FIPS compliant SecureRandom provider has been added
  to the JRE which can be used ahead of the default FIPS
  implementation.
  All IBM FIPS compliant code will continue to use the original
  FIPS SecureRandom provider.
  To enable the new provider update the
  jre/lib/security/java.security file to insert it in the list
  before the orginal:
  security.provider.1=com.ibm.jsse2.IBMJSSEProvider2
  security.provider.2=com.ibm.crypto.provider.IBMJCE
  security.provider.3=com.ibm.security.jgss.IBMJGSSProvider
  Should become:
  security.provider.1=com.ibm.jsse2.IBMJSSEProvider2
  security.provider.2=com.ibm.securerandom.provider.IBMSecureRando
  m
  security.provider.3=com.ibm.crypto.provider.IBMJCE
  security.provider.4=com.ibm.security.jgss.IBMJGSSProvider
  .
  To obtain the fix:
  Install build 20100814 or later
