MBG : How to remove “revoked” certificates

Although i dont believe it does any harm i have wanted to remove the revoked certifcates from the certifcate management web page on the MBG

As you see above i have already removed mine

To do this simple find the revoked PEM files under

/home/e-smith/certmgmt/revoked

If you want to be specific you can search for the actual file or just delete all in the “revoked” folder

You can either access this folder with putty or via Winscp

If you dont know how to access the MBG via putty see my post here

How to : Edit large wireshark files with “editcap”

Wireshark does not play well with large pcap files. I read somewhere you need 1GB of RAM for 1 GB of file.

I recently needed to review the contents of a 30gb pcap file and wireshark refused to open it.

Few minutes of googling and i came accross this useful command

editcap. Its part of wire shark, located in the installation directory

editcap -h will give you some useful information

I found this post useful

Here is my example for extracting one days worth of capture

“C:\progam files\wireshark\editcap.exe” -v -A “2019-30-11 08:00:00” -B “2019-11-30 18:00:00” c:\input.pcap d:\output.pcap

I wanted to find the oldest recording on the local hardrive.

I had a Mitel call recorder (MIVCR) which had started deleting recording due to an error and i wanted to find out the oldest recording left on the recording drive

How to download MCAClient-admin.exe from MiCollab server

When installing the MiCollab client you are also prompted to install the Mitel Collaboration Advanced client (MCA). If you are using a teminal server or citrix you may wish to install the app into a standard location rather than c:/users/username/appdata…..

To do this you will need the MCAClient-admin.exe file rather than the MCAC-launcher that you get fro the MCA website.

I could find the file on the server under

usr/awc/connpoint/content/

but wanted to web browse to that file to download it.

Could find it for 10 minutes and didn’t know how to scan the website fro downloads.

Finally found it in the audio web conferencing user help manual

http(s)://<servername>/wd/MCAClient-admin.exe
