sharing certificate between installations

Post by jorenvb »

Hey, I would like to enable multiple workstations in our organisation to use the same (D)KDM's.

I read the documentation on exporting & importing decryption settings, which sounds like what I need. When I try to use this system, i get an error on importing the generated (...).dom file:

Code: Select all

Invalid DCP-o-matic export file
This error occurs I export on workstation A and import on B, but also persists when I try a do-nothing import-export from A to A or B to B. It happens both in DCP-o-matic 2 and DCP-o-matic 2 Player.

Exact version: 2.18

Thanks for letting me know, I see the bug. I'll make a new release shortly that fixes it.

You can also just copy the prefs file (config.xml) between all machines. It contains the certs.

This should be fixed in 2.18.29.

Cool, good to hear it's fixed.
In the meantime I used Carsten's trick of sharing the config.xml, which did the trick for my purposes.

Thanks for your replies to both of you!
