Windows 7 and LoTW
Locked
 
|
Has anyone been able to install a TQSL certificate under Windows 7? I have been trying to get the certificate request to function and ARRL folks have not been helpful. I get the should work...duh response. Looks like a security flaw in the TQSL program that taking ownership, or run as, or XP SP3 compat does not fix. Suggestions please.

Dan, AB3EN,
I don't run W-7, but I had a problem getting LOTW to work with Vista. The solution was to run it as administrator. (Google "run as administrator"). Just a clue, but it's worth a try. 73, John, W2GW ----- Original Message ----- From: "AB3EN" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Sunday, December 06, 2009 9:05 AM Subject: [Elecraft] [HAM] Windows 7 and LoTW > > Has anyone been able to install a TQSL certificate under Windows 7?> > Dan AB3EN > > ----- > > Dan AB3EN > -- > View this message in context: > http://n2.nabble.com/Windows-7-and-LoTW-tp4121394p4121394.html > Sent from the [HAM] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Dan, are you running 64-bit Win7? Some legacy 32-bit applications
have problems running under Win7-64.

I have just requested a new certificate. I had an error message that mine had expired when I tried to import into the new Windows 7 system. The error message was variable though so it might not be that.

The error appears to be related to the way tQSL writes to its own data files. I have checked all the permission issues and tried running it as the Admin and even as an XP SP3 program. No luck.
I hope to find someone who has found the secret formula. This is in Win 7 Professional. The tQSL program and the LoTW setup has never been my favorite. Dan AB3EN

Since Win7 is now the default on all new PC shipments and is seeing
strong acceptance as a upgrade to both Vista and XP I think ARRL should be eager to help with your problems. I would suggest calling them. good luck jim ab3cv ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

There have been numerous messages about this (not only with Windows
7) on the ARRL-LOTW group on Yahoo. A workaround which seems to help is to temporarily set the computer to a date just after the certificate was issued (I haven't had the issue yet, so haven't actually tried that).

Interesting as Sgt. Schultz once said. The failure I get is not only on the tq5 (request) but trying to load the tq6 (cert file). So the time issue can't be adjusted. I think they have a real turkey in this TQSL cert crap. Walt from ARRL has tried to help but I suspect they don't have a clue other than the "directions say to...."
Thoughts? 73 Dan AB3EN

Dan,
I have Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit. It is an upgraded system from Vista. I just uploaded my latest contacts to LOTW without any problem. This is the first time I've tried it with Windows 7. I use DX4WIN for my log. I used a filter in DX4WIN to select only the latest entries. I then created an ADIF file and was then able to create a tq8 file without any problem. LOTW accepted it. I haven't touched any LOTW stuff on my computer since the upgrade to Windows 7. About a year ago I had trouble creating a tq8 file. Come to find out my certificate had expired. The error messages I was seeing didn't give any indication that the problem was with an expired certificate. It's been long enough that I forget just what the messages said. I'm not sure what is wrong for you, but I can say that LOTW seems to work fine on my Windows 7 computer.

Are we sure we're all talking about the same problem? There is a well known problem re certificate expiry, and it has nothing to do with Windows 7. Existing certificates work fine on the computer they're installed on, but it's impossible to export them to the export format (tq8?) in order to use them on another computer, unless you resort to date trickery. LotW support advised me to get a new certificate instead, this was painless. Here's how I understand what happened: My own certificate was still valid, but the ARRL seems to have let its own certificate expire, the one they use to sign our certificates. As you see, nothing to do with Windows 7, but you *will* be bit by the bug when you try to move certificates to a new computer, no matter what operating system it is running. Obviously, there can also be Windows 7 specific issues. I have no experience with Windows 7. 73 Jon LA4RT, Trondheim, Norway ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Thanks for the input. My issues are related to a fresh install of the tQSL programs on a fresh Win 7 and the request for a new cert (TQ5) and load failures for the generated TQ6.

Mike and Dan, I finally got the Certificate Expired warning to see what you were talking about. It appears to me to be generated by Microsoft Internet Explorer rather than anything at ARRL LOTW. I have been getting such warnings when I try to download any software that did not give Microsoft its cut for some time, but this appears to be a new revenue enhancement attempt by MS to me. I now have a message on Yahoo that states "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has blocked this website from displaying content tiwh securith certificate errors. Click here for options. I will click and write another email.

I read the warning note and it is from Microsoft. Apparently they have started blocking web sites that don't pay their certificate fees. This is a bad omen in my view.

Re: Windows 7 and LoTW

What you're describing is completely separate from the LoTW
certificate expiration problem, which has nothing to do with IE or Microsoft, and everything to do with ARRL and the TrustedQSL software (the LoTW issuing certification authority's certificate expired, and they apparently were unable to renew it). In any case, the ARRL-LOTW Yahoo! group is the right venue, and AB3EN has already taken his problem there. ~Iain / N6ML On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 6:01 PM, WILLIS COOKE <[hidden email]> wrote: > I read the warning note and it is from Microsoft.

The older a certificate, the more likely the private key to have been broken (both from a longer time to try and because technology advances make it easier), or leaked, or that domain has been lost to someone less reputable, so certificates need to have time limits. Although it is true that the certificate structure has been monetised, and that Microsoft bought out one of the main companies in the certificate business, if there is any money going to Microsoft here, it is for inclusion of the certificate authority's root certificate in the browser/Windows, not for the individual certificates. This also applies to Authenticode, the digial signature infrastructure for code, rather than web pages. Again you can pay your money to any certifying authority, not just, the now Microsoft owned, Verisign. If anything, the real problem nowadays is that just too many people can issue certificates that will be trusted by browsers/Authenticode, and by default, they will trust certificates with very different levels of verification of the identity of the subject.

I found a way to install LotW on Windows7 64-bit. After downloading, right click the icon and make it operate in compatibility mode for WindowsXP or whichever you were used to using it on before upgrading to Windows7 or as in my case, having to buy a new computer after mine crashed.
Then to load your .p12 file, first temporarily change the date on your computer to about a week or 2 after the date on your postcard. Then open your TQSLCert and click file, load certificate file and choose your .p12 file. Hope you remember your password for that. :) Anyway, it has worked for me so far as I can see. I have not tried signing a qso yet but it looks like it's going to work. Don't forget to change your date back after installing the .p12 file. |
