Extracting openvpn certificates from ovpn file

Hi,
I was curious about how to extract openvpn certificates from the ovpn configuration file,
basically on the ovpn config we have:
<ca>
begin/ end certificate
</ca>
<cert>
begin / end certificate
</cert>
<key>
begin / end rsa private key
</key>
normally when we use the file like openvpn --config file.ovpn it works, but on some network manager versions you cannot import correctly.
How can we extract the certificates from command line?
Any explanation to also the purpose of each certificate and how it's generated and used would be much appreciated.

You can extract the certificates with cut and paste, with any graphical editor like gedit, kate, or even vi. Remember that you must introduce into the remaining file (i.e., what remains after you have removed the cryptographic keys) instructions as to where to find the keys:
ca /path/to/ca.crt
cert /path/to/name.crt
key /path/to/name.key
A simple introduction to how to generate the certificates can be found, for example, in the wiki: search for ": Create a Public Key Infrastructure Using the easy-rsa Scripts." Basically, there is a series of scripts that will take care of this for you.
As to the mathematical meaning of cryptographic keys, it is too complex to be easily accessible to anyone not doing a Ph.D. in number theory. But you can easily find amusing popular articles just about everywhere, beginning with Scientific American.

Hi,
I consider that you can try to use xperf to collect the trace etl file and see if it can be extracted on this computer:

Use LINQ to extract the data from a file...

Hi,
I have created a Subprocedure CreateEventList
which populates an EventsComboBox
with a current day's events (if any).
I need to store the events in a generic List communityEvents
which is a collection of
communityEvent
objects. This List needs to be created and assigned to the instance variable
communityEvents.
This method should call helper method ExtractData
which will use LINQ to extract the data from my file.
The specified day is the date selected on the calendar control. This method will be called from the CreateEventList.
This method should clear all data from List communityEvents.
A LINQ
query that creates CommunityEvent
objects should select the events scheduled for selected
day from the file. The selected events should be added to List
communityEvents.
See code below.
Thanks,
public class CommunityEvent
private int day;
public int Day
get
return day;
set
day = value;
private string time;
public string Time
get
return time;
set
time = value;
private decimal price;
public decimal Price
get
return price;
set
price = value;
private string name;
public string Name
get
return name;
set
name = value;
private string description;
public string Description
get
return description;
set
description = value;
private void eventComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 0)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "2.30PM. Price 12.50. Take part in creating various types of Arts & Crafts at this fair.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 1)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "4.30PM. Price 00.00. Take part in cleaning the local Park.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 2)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "1.30PM. Price 10.00. Take part in selling goods.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 3)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "12.30PM. Price 10.00. Take part in a game of rounders in the local Park.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 4)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "11.30PM. Price 15.00. Take part in an Egg & Spoon Race in the local Park";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 5)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "No Events today.";

Any help here would be great.
Look, you have to make the file a XML file type -- Somefilename.xml.
http://www.xmlfiles.com/xml/xml_intro.asp
You can use NotePad XML to make the XML and save the text file.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296560
Or you can just use Notepad (standard), if you know the basics of how to create XML, which is just text data that can created and saved in a text file, which, represents data.
http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/522456/Reading-XML-using-LINQ
You can do a (select new CommunityEvent) just like the example is doing a
select new FileToWatch and load the XML data into the CommunityEvent properties.
So you need to learn how to make a manual XML textfile with XML data in it, and you need to learn how to use LINQ to read the XML. Linq is not going to work against some flat text file you created. There are plenty of examples out on Bing and Google
on how to use Linq-2-XML.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Integrated_Query
<copied>
LINQ extends the language by the addition of query
expressions, which are akin to
SQL statements, and can be used to conveniently extract and process data from
arrays, enumerable
classes, XML documents,
relational databases, and third-party data sources. Other uses, which utilize query expressions as a general framework for readably composing arbitrary computations, include the construction of event handlers[2]
or
monadic parsers.[3]

Error in running Extract Definition Upload from Data File concurrent.

Hi,
We have exactly the same error in IBolt. This error happens sometime and we don't find the reason.
IBolt has been upgraded to Version 3.1 SP1 and a fix has been developed by the support. After installation, we've work hardly during 2 days for testing all the flows by the customer without having this error.
Ibolt works as a service and when this error occurs, the service stopped and must be restarted.
In our flows, we have put a delete of the observer.dll file just before the rest of the flow but it doesn't solve the problem.
Deleting the directory can be temporarly a solution but the error come back another day.
Each time the SBO client or DTW is started, the %temp%\SMS_OBJ_DLL directory is created...
When you just delete the observer.dll file and leave the rest of the directory like it is, the file is re-created when you start and log to SBO. I would say that this file is a copy of another file observer_800178.dll (800178 depending of the version of SBO yoi have). 800178 corresponds to SBO 2007 A PL 42.
Do you have more information since your post has been send ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards.

A programme that will extract particular records from a file

Let's assume that there is a text file containing arround 50 records in the following format:
ABCDEFGH:AB:12345:-09876:567:876
The file to be read by the programme consist of a sequence of records each of which is split into fields using separator characters just like as we have in the Unix. The command line arguments should be given to execute the programme
The most important part of the programme is that the condition for extracting a particular record from that file will be that specified fields shall contain a particular string of characters.
The command line arguments to be given are:
-tx This flag specifies the field separator character "x"
-<num> This flag introduces a match requirement for field "num". Fields are numbered starting at 1. This flag may be followed by further flags and then by the string to look for.
-f Fold case. I.e. string matching is not case sensitive.
-t Transposition match. A match is recorded even if the strings differ provided the difference consists of just 2 characters transposed so that, for example: "compiler and complier" will be recorded as a match.
-d A differ match. A match is recorded even if the two strings differ by one letter. For example: "gest and rest" will be recorded as a match.
The file to be processed will be specified in the final command line argument.
If match requirements are specified for more than one field the implication is that all fields specified must separately satisfy their individual match requirements. If any fields referred to in the match requirements are missing from a particular record then the record will not satisfy the overall match requirements.

And your question is??

Extract Blog Text From Domain File?

I have a year's blogging in a domain file. I've taken down the blog and started a new one, but would like to extract the text from the old year-long blog.
Is there an efficient way to do this other than switching that domain file back and going day by day?

There's a file in the blog domain package titled index.xml.gz. If you expand that file to get the index.xml file inside you might find the text. You will recognize the text in there but it's buried in a lot of "junk".
If you're starting a new blog for next year I suggest you use one of the blogging sites like Posterous, that are much more powerful and will let you manipulate the contents nearly any way you'd like. You can even embed that blog into one of your iWeb pages like in this demo page: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page.
Using a 3rd party blogging site will also let you add to it online from any computer, Mac or PC or from mobile devices when on the road.
Happy New Year

How to extract the image from pdf file

     Hai friends........
         Is it possible to extract the images in a page from pdf file.
         If so. please share with me.......
    Thanks in advance,
    abu

In later versions of Acrobat you can select an Image with the Select tool, then right-hand click for Save options.
------------->
It helps if you quote your exact version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader - choose [Help, About...] to find this.
Also useful: Version numbers of other software (e.g. Word) if relevant. Age of computer and amount of memory (RAM) available (r/h cllcking on 'My Computer' and choosing Properties gives you this, plus processor speed).

Hi
This is very simple (to the best of my knowledge)
sqlplus userid/password@hoststring @pl_sql_file_name.ext [arg1] [arg2] [arg3]
sqlplus - to invoke oracle
userid - is the login id into oracle db
password - is the password
hoststring - is the ORACLE_SID
pl_sql_file_name.ext - is the pl_sql file you wish to run
arg1, arg2, arg3 - the arguments that you may be refering in the pl_sql script. arg1 refers to &1 in your script and arg2 refers to &2 in your script and arg3 refers to &3 in your script.
Have fun!
Good Luck

How to extract the mailboxes from *.edb files

I am using windows 2007, SP2, 64 bit operating system and exchange server 2007 on top it.

How do i get the pst from .edb file so I can put it again to synch with the new platform ??

How to use command line with acrobat to extract page(s) from pdf file?

I have adobe acrobat, and have a pdf file with over 500 pages. I need to extract small chunks of pages from it as seperate pdf files. I was hoping I could use command line interface to do this faster.
Something like:
acrobat src des start end
so for example
adobe file.pdf my_folder 3 5
Is this possible? There are many chunks and I don't want to manually do it for every chunk. Command line would be much easier...
Thanks

I can't find any programs... sorry.
Can you create one for me please.
It should at least have these 5 arguments: (well the first one is not neccessary since were not using acrobat anymore...)
[program] [src path/src file] [destination path/file name] [start page (inclusive)] [end page (inclusive)]
for example:
acrobat ./my_file.pdf ./my_folder/chunk1.pdf 3 5
if start page == end page, then it only extracts that one page.
So this way I can just stack these comands on a .bat file or something (maybe like 100 commands), then run the bat file, and it will create all the files.
Thanks for doing this, it is appreciated.

Extracting video metadata from .mov files using QuickTime SDK for Windows

I'm trying to create a service which will process .mov files and extract some statistical information from it, such as length, bitrate, video height / width , and if it's possible info about audio, such as audio levels number of channels etc.
I've downloaded a sample application which came with SDK and it uses a visual control (Asp.net) to load file url into and then extracts a Movie object which has most of the info I need.
problem:
I don't have ability to load a visual control as my program is a service application. Can someone tell me how it's possible to load movie object without using visual control and fetch all the metadata I need.
Thanks
