Thanks for the help. Do you know if this is all working in 3.6.7092 server (simias 1.6.7085) and 3.6.7085 (win32) client? I have a cert in place (just using the public cert of my apache web server for now - named foobar.cer) but it does not populate the drop down box for the client - have tried wiping out simias directory in my windows profile so no old settings are in place, wiping out my user/ifolders and rebuilding them, restarting server/client - all to no avail...

Is there any way to debug this? My next step is to build the SwingStoreBrowser to see if I can see that it is grabbing the cert - am I correct that the "iFolder server data base" you refer to below is the "Store" that this browser operates upon? Thanks again!

Once the certificate is added it will stay remain in the iFolder server data 
base.
Certificates can be added any time provided the ifolder services need to be 
restarted

I'm wondering if anyone out there has set up the Recovery Agent on iFolder 3.6 and can help shed some light on how to configure it. I have a successful iFolder install on SuSE 10.2 using rpms from srinidhi. I am trying to figure out what the simias-server-setup script is looking for when it asks for the "Recovery Agent Certificate Path?"...

I'm assuming it is looking for a path with a X.509 certificate (from what I understand from other Novell documentation, in PEM or DER format, but with extensions .cer or .der?), however I'm not sure if it is looking for a public or private key (or both), or exactly what. I have taken a brief look at the code, though I'm not a programmer and have seen snippets that look for a certificate, and if there isn't one, it makes one - not sure if this is related or not either.

Is it looking for a CA certificate (i.e. one that can sign other certs?)

Am I also correct in when it does find one or more certificates here that it likes, it will populate the "Recovery Agent" drop-down box on the client?

Could someone please help me figure this out? Even if you have part of the answer, I'd really appreciate any info on the subject. Thanks much!!
