THIS IS FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY. DO NOT USE JAVA 8 UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY


To use Java 8 with IDS follow these steps:

1. go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_171\lib\security
2. open java.security in an elevated text editor
3. find this at line 615: jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, MD5, RSA keysize < 1024, DSA Keysize < 1024
4. Remove MD5 from that list like so:
jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, RSA keysize < 1024, DSA Keysize < 1024
5. Now you can run ids on Java 8
