DidiSoft OraRSA version 1.1 was released today. It offers to customize the digital signature algorithm in contrast to version 1.0 where only SHA1withRSA was available.

How to use the new algorithms?

In order to use the new algorithms, you must specify the algorithm needed as the last parameter of the ORA_RSA.SIGN and ORA_RSA.VERIFY methods. Available values are:

ORA_RSA.HASH_SHA1 for SHA1withRSA
ORA_RSA.HASH_SHA224 for SHA224withRSA
ORA_RSA.HASH_SHA256 for SHA256withRSA
ORA_RSA.HASH_SHA384 for SHA384withRSA
ORA_RSA.HASH_SHA512 for SHA512withRSA

Upgrade from version 1.0

In order to upgrade from version 1.0 you must first unload the version 1.0 JAR files:

dropjava.sh/.bat -r -v – u user/pass [extraction folder]\SetupFiles\jce-jdk13-152.jar
dropjava.sh/.bat -r -v – u user/pass [extraction folder]\SetupFiles\ora-rsa-1.0.0.jar

Then continue like a normal Setup.
 

Executing procedures from the dbms_java Oracle PL/SQL package may result in a strange IdNotFoundException like:

ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: oracle.aurora.vm.IdNotFoundException: user : user or role id does not exist

This is very common when granting java.io.FilePermission:

call dbms_java.grant_permission('user', 'java.io.FilePermission', 'C:/MyFolder/ora-pgp-1.1.0.jar', 'read');

If you experience such error try changing the user(schema) name to Uppercase.
