Hi Jeremy,
 
Been looking at the same thing, but not for the same reason. Just haven't had 
time to get serious yet. Looks like proprietary compression or encryption.
 
A good way to play with the Access Gateway is running it as a virtual machine 
(instruction posted a while ago), either with vmware or the vmware player. Add 
the vmwareserialgateway (freeware vm serial port redirection) and you've got a 
full access gateway, functioning serial port, the lot.
 
If you've got the access gateway running as a VM, adding a bootable knoppix cd 
iso as a virtual CD gives you full access to the AG file system. With a bit of 
minor fiddling you've got write access as well. After that .....
 
regards,
 
Rick

Subject: [THIN] Opening the config.restore file from the Access Gateway



Hi All,

Does anyone know what format the config.restore file is? It's the saved
config from the Access Gateway. eg. rar, zip, tar, etc. Tried a few things,
but it doesn't seem to work.

The reason behind my question is that I need to restore a previously
Generated CSR so that the Signed Certificate (crt) can be successfully
applied. I had to re-image a box that a customer didn't have a current
backup of, and I'm getting the following error when trying to import the
signed crt file.

(03/31/06 16:56:29): 0:controller:socket:: Using only strong cipher suites:
RC4-MD5:RC4-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES128-SHA
(03/31/06 16:56:29): 0:controller:socket:: cleared existing SSL contexts
(03/31/06 16:56:29): 0:controller:socket:: initialized SSL methods and
contexts
(03/31/06 16:56:29): 0:controller:socket:: Using only strong cipher suites:
RC4-MD5:RC4-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES128-SHA
(03/31/06 16:56:29): 0:controller:socket:: cleared existing SSL contexts
(03/31/06 16:56:29): 0:controller:socket:: initialized SSL methods and
contexts
(03/31/06 16:56:29): 0:controller:socket:: associated server certificate
and private key with SSL context
(03/31/06 16:56:29): 2:controller:upgraded: : failed to upgrade
certificate. (verification failure).
(03/31/06 16:56:29): 2:controller:service:xfer:: unable to xfer certificate
file...

 The second last line in the log confirms that it can't be verified, and
therefore fails the import.

All I want to do is to "shove" the originally generated certificate request
back into the config, assuming that it's backed up into there in the first
place.

Cheers.
