Won't login / doesnt respect JVM security provider settings (bouncy castle)

This ticket is invalid as it relates to a modded or 3rd party client/server.

• Any non-standard client/server build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.

• Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the plugin creator.

• This site is for addressing issues related to the base unmodded MineCraft.

Gee I am so glad I wasted my time in raising this issue, and it is an issue, only for it to be immediately closed.

The issue here IS with Minecraft, and not the "third party software", which for all intents and purposes is a part of the JVM.

Minecraft is not only ignoring system settings it's using a provider that isn't even enabled. Hardly a problem with the 3rd party vendor. This is Minecraft's issue.

Ok, got it. Reopened.

Minecraft includes some Bouncy Castle code. So it's probably an interaction between the code embedded in Minecraft, and the external Bouncy Castle security provider. I don't have any idea which component the bug lies in though.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Reopening, received the following crashlog via irc.

Having the same problem on my Mac, 10.8, using the installed Java with the system. I cannot find bouncycastle anywhere on my system (locate, spotlight, etc.).

I solved my issue. Uninstalling Java completely (using the directions at http://stikine.wordpress.com/2012/03/02/howto-remove-java/) and then reinstalling it from Apple fixed it.

Prior to that, I did try installing Oracle Java 1.7, which wouldn't launch at all.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.6.2 / Launcher version 1.1.2 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

No response in 4 months, assuming no longer an issue.
