osx - Encryption Failing Cross Platform -

i working on updating password encryption utility entirely homegrown 1 built around jasypt , bouncy castle. utility encrypts password; encrypted string patched properties file , read in , decrypted grails application.

i wrote java command-line utility encrypting password. relevant java code is:

public class passwordutility {     private final string salt = "randomstring";     private final standardpbestringencryptor encryptor = new standardpbestringencryptor();      public passwordutility( string seed ) {         string password = salt + seed;         encryptor.setprovider( new bouncycastleprovider() );         encryptor.setalgorithm( "pbewithsha256and192bitaes-cbc-bc" );         encryptor.setpassword( password );     }      public string decrypt( string encryptedtext ) {         string processtext = encryptedtext;         return encryptor.decrypt( processtext );     }      public string encrypt( string plaintext ) {         return encryptor.encrypt( plaintext );     } } 

the groovy code is:

class stringencryptor {     string salt = "randomstring"      private standardpbestringencryptor initcrypto( string keysplit ) {         standardpbestringencryptor pbe = new standardpbestringencryptor()         pbe.setprovider( new bouncycastleprovider() )         pbe.setalgorithm( "pbewithsha256and192bitaes-cbc-bc" )         string cryptkey = salt + keysplit         pbe.setpassword( cryptkey )         return pbe     }      string encrypt( string keysplit, string encrypttext ) {         standardpbestringencryptor pbe = initcrypto( keysplit )         pbe.encrypt( encrypttext )     }      string decrypt( string keysplit, string encrypttext ) {         log.info encrypttext         log.info keysplit         standardpbestringencryptor pbe = initcrypto( keysplit )         pbe.decrypt( encrypttext )     } } 

when run passwordutility locally (on mac), paste results properties file , run grails locally, password decrypted correctly. when run passwordutility on rhel virtual server , paste results properties file, encryptionoperationnotpossibleexception, , looking @ code, implies decryption might have failed -- standardpbebyteencryptor line 1055). when take string mac , try decrypt on rhel, decryption returns null. able take string 1 rhel box , decrypt on rhel box.

the issue there wildcard characters in password coming in. when changed part of password alphanumeric characters (or alphanumeric characters , dash) crypto working cross-platform.
