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 It is usually left when upgrading to a higher version of Notes where this JAR has been replaced by a new JAR named ibmjceprovider.jar.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