Re: [Kerio 2.x] Edit conf file, outside kerio ?
No, that's it... Kerio will decrypt the file, when it restarts, but it will also warn you that your file's not encrypted, at every start up, until you remove the key or change it to "0", then it will re-encrypt at next startup... it's not advisable, really, to run it that way as a long term thing... when you change the key back, it will re-encrypt the file. I'm not vouching for the precise methodology, I still haven't found my old notes on that specific issue, but it strikes me as the right approach.

| You're right...
I would have thought that, upon restart with the registry key set to disable encryption, and an encrypted conf file, KPF would have failed.
But, after a quick test, I see KPF handles this without a problem ... upon restart, KPF will load the encrypted conf file and save as text.
I am curious if the OP will be able to load the problematic conf file using this approach. | |

| Yes, that crossed my mind. It might be interesting to see if the firewall can be stopped, in its loop, and have decrypted the offending file at startup. Wish you luck, keep us posted...
Old Tiny, then Kerio, was pretty elegant, lightweight code, in the glory-days, by the way... one of the things I always loved about it was that you could fit it on any disk, and it worked flawlessly on machines with pathetic processor/RAM/OS combinations (I mean, think P-1 machines with 32 megs running Win95), without hogging up the system. But it didn't sacrifice functionality or stability to achieve that.
I don't remember whether we ever opened up an old Tiny conf, or not, hence I don't know how it would be accomplished, or have forgotten so long ago it's a hopeless cause... I'll have to defer that to someone else, if it can be done.
