Generating a support file
Support File

Contents

Introduction

When reporting an error on either an appliance or with PINsafe it is advisable to generate a support file. The support file contains versioning information and log files.

The instructions contained in this document have been tested on a V2.x appliance. If you find that they are not applicable to your appliance, please contact Swivel Secure support (support@swivelsecure.com) for assistance.

It is assumed that the appliance is already configured, and has a valid IP address on your network.

Sending Support file by email

1. Login to the appliance using the console or an SSH client (Using SSH and SFTP)
2. Select "Advanced Options" from the Main Menu.
3. Select "Admin menu" from the Advanced Menu.
4. Select "Diagnostics" from the Admin Menu.
5. Select "Support logs and information".
6. Enter an email address. the email will be sent from the appliance, so using an internal server is recommended to avoid email relay issues.
7. Enter an IP address or DNS name for an SMTP server.

Sending Support file manually using external method

1. Follow all of the previous steps, using a non-existent SMTP server.
2. Use SFTP to connect to the appliance (Using SSH and SFTP)
3. Navigate to the "/backups/upload" directory.
4. Download the "support_info.tar.gz" file.
5. Manually email the support file.

Troubleshooting

1. Check that the IP address is the correct IP for the appliance.
2. Ensure the appliance can connect to a mail server using port 25.
3. Unless an SMTP server is configured to allow un-authenticated relaying, which they never are, the SMTP server must be on the same network as the PINsafe appliance.

If any error messages are reported after the rpm command please contact Swivel Secure support (support@swivelsecure.com) for assistance.
