[AG-TECH] Insecure Server in AG

Sun Feb 27 00:21:50 CST 2011

Hi,

I tried to run the venue server on DOS Prompt as follows:

C:\Program Files\AGTk-3\bin>VenueServer3.py --secure=0
No certificate is available to start a secure server.
Please run the CertificateManager to request and retrieve
a certificate before attempting to start the VenueServer again.

How to run the venue server without installing the certificate (insecure
server) ?

Please let me know if you have any ideas ?
