Files Used by Reflection for Secure IT

Reflection for Secure IT stores files in the following location:

Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008:
\ProgramData\Attachmate\RSecureServer\

Windows XP, Windows Server 2003:
\Documents and Settings\all users\Application Data\Attachmate\RSecureServer\
Note: The files in this data folder (with the exception of the host public key) contain information that should remain secure. These files should not be readable by any one except SYSTEM and Administrators. These file permissions are set by default.

Filename	Description
rsshd_config.xml	Server configuration file. This file is in XML format. Note: To minimize the chance of introducing errors, we recommend using the console whenever you want to modify your server settings.
hostkey	The default private key of the public/private key pair used to identify the server to clients.
hostkey.pub	The default public key of the public/private key pair used to authenticate the server to clients.
RSIT_Cache	Password cache. User information and passwords are encrypted.
RSIT_Access	Domain access user credentials. User information and password are encrypted.
RSIT_Cache.bin	The key used to encrypt and decrypt entries in the password cache. This key is required to use the cache. If it is deleted, you will need to recreate your password cache. This key is also use to encrypt the user credentials in the RSIT_Access file.
migration	This hidden file indicates that the server has migrated settings from a prior version. When this file is present, the server won't repeat an automated migration. This file has no effect on migrations done using the rsshd command line -m option.

Log Files

Reflection for Secure IT stores log files in a Logs subfolder of the RSecureServer folder:

Migration.Log	Information about settings migration from an F-Secure or Reflection 6.x sshd2_config file.

Windows XP, Windows Server 2003:
\Documents and Settings\username\
Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008:
\Users\username\
