I suspect this has to do with proxy server settings on your machine. If you file a bug from within the software (Help->SubmitBugReport), a recent portion of your VenueClient.log file will be included and we'll be able to identify and resolve the problem. I'd encourage you to do this so we can fix it for you and anyone else who might encounter it. I believe I already understand the problem and can help you get it fixed quickly.

I installed an AG Toolkit v2.4 on an XP SP1 machine according to specs and when I try to start the venue client, it will abort. In debug mode it says "Initialization Error: unpack list of wrong size" right after it started the Certificate Request Wizard. Anybody knows what the heck this is? I am lost and would need a solution real quick!

Thanks!

Heheh.. yea.. quite right. Ooops. I hate that word for how often I misspell it. I really had to make sure I got it right in the source code for AGVCR. For emails, obviously I'm still having problems. :)

Hi,

Just a minor correction - just a typo - to save frustration: One needs use "Rijndael/" instead of "Rjindael/"

You may be better off using Rjindael encryption, which is

normally used

on AG Venues when setting the 'encryption' option in the venue server config. A Rjindael key is passed to VIC and RAT as 'Rjindael/passphrase' where passphrase should be something random and unguessable, and distributed to those needing the key to enter manually. There's a program for Debian called 'pwgen' that I've used to generate a passphrase before. For manually entering the key, you would probably just disable the venue encryption and manually key it in. For a DES key, just use a passphrase that doesn't start with a string 'Rjindael/'. Of course you can also use certificates to secure a venue too, so not just anyone can enter and obtain the encryption key.

We would like to demonstrate encryption in April to some fellow colleagues. I set up a test room on our venue server with encryption. Encryption works fine, but whoever enters the venue gets the encryption key. I would like to "lock" down the room to whoever I give the key to, not whoever enters the room. Can this be done?

Also, I know I can manually enter a key into vic and rat. Is there a program that I can run to get DES key? Or can I simply use a passphrase instead?

Thanks!
