# 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 It is usually left when upgrading to a higher version of Notes where this JAR has been replaced by a new JAR named "ibmjceprovider.jar".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).
