ERROR engine.AxisEngine: An unsupported signature or encryption algorithm was used (unsupported key transport encryption algorithm: No such algorithm

I am getting the below exception when I am calling the SecureStockQuoteProxy service with a proxy service. Here I have exposed this secured service as a REST API (which is unsecured). When I am calling the REST API, ESB throws the below error.

Solution

This exception can be solved by enabling the "rampart" module in axis2.xml file of the sample axis2server which is located under ESB_HOME/samples/axis2Server/repository/conf folder. We need to enable the rampart module as below.

<!-- ================================================= -->
<!-- Global Modules  -->
<!-- ================================================= -->
<!-- Comment this to disable Addressing -->
<module ref="addressing"/>
<module ref="rampart" />

Hope this helps.
