After upgrading to JDK 1.8.0_172-ea-b03 the application started to fail with the error message:
"Failed to decrypt authorization content java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Unsupported secret key algorithm: DES"

This is actually expected, and the details of this change in behavior can be seen in the Release Notes of JDK 8u161
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8u161-relnotes-4021379.html

As cited in the Release Notes, a temporary workaround may be to use the flag -Djdk.crypto.KeyAgreement.legacyKDF=true
However, as also cited int the Release Notes, setting this system property is not recommended.
