Java 8 JCE Security Changes

I see that starting in Java version 8u151 we no longer have to manually babysit the (2) required JCE files. Looks like we can edit a java.security configuration file to enable stronger crypto as needed. See https://www.petefreitag.com/item/844.cfm

Has anyone started configuring Java 8 security in this manner on their JSS?

Yes we are. Documentation has also been updated here: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/articles/28/installing-java-and-mysql
