[Ejbca-develop] /dev/urandom

[Michael S. <mi...@st...>]

HI!

It seems that ejbca.sh is so slow on my test systems because those are VMs in a
KVM cluster and there's not enough entropy in /dev/random, and therefore
starting a JVM hangs in gathering entropy...

Also running haveged does not help since it's not real hardware.

So how to enforce ejbca.sh using /dev/urandom instead?

I've tried to edit ejbca.sh:

exec "$JAVACMD" -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/urandom -jar [..]

But it does not help either.

Nope, I don't want to directly muck with /dev/random like described in this
"solution" (top on Google):

Ciao, Michael.
