Hi,

I had a look at
8250787 Provider.put no longer registering aliases in FIPS env
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8250787

This is the last relevant open 11.0.9-oracle change in 11u.
Oracle rates it P2.
Unfortunately, no patch to downport exists. It is fixed only in 11
and 8 by Oracle.

Apparently the problem was introduced by
1.       7092821<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7092821>: java.security.Provider.getService() is synchronized and became scalability bottleneck
2.       https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7092821
which was downported to 11.0.7.  Paul, do you maybe have an idea how to fix this?

Best regards,
  Goetz.
