The certificate files are set by browsing from the Mercury configuration dialog and this works as expected. No, the files for MercuryS expression filtering and for MercuryI.ACL are not saved in the same directory as mercury.exe and i have to specify a path.

If you have the certs in the same directory of mercury.exe: then

it works as expected

If you browse to a different directory for the certs: then you have to specify the path:

But the directory for MercuryI.ACL is not configurable. This means

if you have saved your certs outside the directory with the mercury.exe

then the MercuryI.ACL and other files are saved in the cert folder.

PS: The forum software need really an update.

Given is mercury32 v4.8 and i use mercury-s and mercury-i. In the past i saved my ssl certs inside the mercury folder. Today i created new ssl certs and saved all outside the mercury folder in directory "drive:\stunnel\certs". I use stunnel because i want to prevent the usage of insecure stuff in my certs.

In mercury-s I use the setting "enable transaction-level expression filtering" and the standard file "TRANSFLT.MER". In the past this file was saved in "drive:\mercury\" but if you reference files from outside of the mercury-directory then this file is saved in the new place. In my case the file "TRANSFLT.MER" was saved in "drive:\stunnel\certs". The same problem exists with mercury-i. Wherever possible i added "drive:\mercury\" in front of a file but you cannot change all directory settings. E.g., the directory for MERCURYi.ACL cannot be changed.

It is 2am in the morning and if you need more informations, please ask.

Regards,

Sellerie

I'm actually not sure I understand what the problem is. Anyway, as long as the rule file for MercuryS expression filtering is in the same directory as mercury.exe there should be no need to specify a path, and the same goes for MercuryI.ACL. For certificate files Mercury should be able to find them as long as the path is set by browsing from the Mercury configuration dialog. If you want files that Mercury expect to be in the main Mercury folder to be stored elsewhere you could test using symbolic links to point to them: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365680(v=vs.85).aspx
