# Error - ExceptionConverter: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException

## **Description**

When converting a document, the conversion fails and this error appears in the SWING PDF Converter dialog or in the Java Debug Console:

```
AGENT ERROR: ExceptionConverter: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: class com.ibm.crypto.provider.MD5 configured for MessageDigest(provider: IBMJCE version 1.2) cannot be accessed.
class "com.ibm.crypto.provider.MD5"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package 
        at java.security.Security.createAlgInstance(Security.java:1338) 
        at java.security.Security.createAlgInstance(Security.java:1232) 
        at java.security.Security.getImpl(Security.java:1123) 
        at java.security.MessageDigest.getInstance(MessageDigest.java:135) 
        .
        .
        .
```

## **Solution**

This problem happens if there is a leftover JAR file named "ibmjcaprovider.jar" in your Notes Java virtual machine folder. It is usually left when upgrading to a higher version of Notes where this JAR has been replaced by a new JAR named "ibmjceprovider.jar".

To resolve this, all you need to do is to delete the "ibmjcaprovider.jar" file (usually in the "Lotus\Domino\ibm-jre\jre\lib\ext\ibmjcaprovider.jar" folder).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.swingsoftware.com/pdf-converter-for-notes/troubleshooting/error-messages/error-exceptionconverter-java.security.nosuchalgorithmexception.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
