(RADIATOR) Problems with Vasco Digipass application names

[Mike McCauley]

Hello Bosse,

Thanks for your note.
This looks like its is entirely due to tokens with long application names in 
Radmin.

Can you please send (privately) me some example DPX files with the long 
application names? I will try to suggest a solution.

Cheers.
