cemjack Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I have created several custom secrets of varying length. It seems that no matter how long the secret it gets truncated to 32 or 33 characters in length. Is that correct? Are the secrets limited to that length?

cemjack Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I read that post. Question is: does the custom key get truncated to 33? If I have key length of 60 and use it as secret, then truncate it to first 33 characters, it works on the other machine. Does that make sense?

RomanZ Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 @cemjack It is not truncated. If secret length is more than 40 symbols, it is converted from Base64 to binary format and used as a custom secret. However, the secret of length of 33 with no matching one of control secrets as a first letter (capital A-F and R) is invalid - and you should get an error message box. Also, what do you mean under "it works on other machine"? Do you mean that you BTSync just accepts it? Or you mean that it points to the same share as 60-symbols key?
