Receiving "JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC" error when installing or configuring Planning Analytics on Linux

Troubleshooting


Problem

Receiving "JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC" error when installing or configuring Planning Analytics on Linux. This error is most commonly seen when trying to save changes in the Cognos Configuration application. This is due to the JRE missing files that are needed for BouncyCastle, which is a security provider that normally comes packaged with the tool.
