obscure_file trac.config

sk55120 is no longer working with checkpoint mobile e80.82 or e80.83, the file trac.config is always encrypted

And why would you need to edit the file at all ?

i need this for the following reasons

to restore the configuration if a user is changing the authentication method
to restore the configuration if the connection profile is lost or the file trac.config is getting corrupted
to select the right user certificate if a user has more than one
for support cases, i want to see what settings is coming from the gateway

These points 1-3 look like you do not have access to the client GUI ? Nr 4 sounds like you have many support cases with the RA VPN clients. So you better should open a TAC ticket if this is important and used so much !

Hi Joerg Catregn ; trac.config can still be OBSCUREd or not using this procedure (modifying trac,.defaults as an administrator, when trac.exe has been stopped just before and restarted after updating value - I'm using E80.82).

Can you share your error message or screenshots?

I found the error, the format of the file trac.defaults was wrong.
i have edited the file with notepad2, now i've used ultraedit and it works as expected.
thank you very much for your help.

Hi Joerg,
How you choose the right certificate with trac.config file? I need to select user's cert with friendly name defined.
