(RADIATOR) Rcrypt Question

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Francine -

Could you please send me a copy of your configuration file (no secrets) 
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening. I will also need a 
copy of the encrypted password and the RcryptKey value.

Also - what version of Radiator are you using?

thanks

Hugh
