    Hi

    When I look at the password in the .2xa files they are encoded. It says base64 but it when I try a standard base64 decoding I do not get the password.

    How are the passwords encode? I want to generate my own .2xa files and would like this information? Is there documentation about the 2xa file structure?

    Thanks,
    Simon

    Passwords are hashed and not only converted to base64.

    That information is not open, but you have a tools to generate them, guess you have everything you need.

    Our problem is that we have to create an interface Web under Apache because that proposed by 2x is not appropriate to us for various reasons. However we succeeded in with all remaking, except encrypted the files 2xa and that is not currently possible with .2xagen under linux

    If you have a paid license you can ask 2X to supply to you the same process under linux, or a service inside the webportal.

    Please contact support for a feature request.

    How many servers are you servicing?

    That's what they give us, not that we need

    Many people want to generate their own .2xa

    We already have license official of 2x. But the support answer us that only a Windows gate exists and that will not change. Their answer is that we must absolutely used IIS.

    We have 5 server virtual to manage by KVM. One of the virtual server is used as principal waiter for 2x and the others have only the agents 2x

    Jack you have a tool to generate them (you will have the hashed password).
    After that you can change the file as you like, its a simple xml file.

    Are you working on linux, windows?
    Are you a paying customer?
    How many servers do you have?

    I beleive 2X will give you the tool need, so do contact support and ask for features. In this way the product will move forward and will have the features you require. Still I dont think asking on how the hash is done is reasonable. You ask on a service to do it for you.

    That is true but you can communicate between you webserver and the gateway. If you ask for a 2XAGen for linux .. I think that can be delivered

    Thats is quite obvious... ask for a linux version of the program.
