FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.9200] (Azure)

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
No network interfaces are available, i.e. "ipconfig" gives "Access denied"

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When running a Java website on Azure you don't have access to the network interfaces. Since http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u20/jdk/rev/c6836440c427 the way SecureRandom works is to add the network addresses to the seed hash which causes the application to not work when deployed on Azure. Because no a lot of applications use the SecureRandom class they cannot be used as an Azure web site with the current JDK version.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u51

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
The following application throws an exception on 8u25 but not 7u51:

package com.example;

import java.security.SecureRandom;

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SecureRandom random = new SecureRandom();

System.out.println("Random: " + random.nextInt());
}
}


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Should see a result "Random: 12345"
ACTUAL -
Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.Error: IP Helper Library GetIfTable function failed
