Before you begin
Ensure that openssl is installed on the server where the encrypted files are stored.
  1. Log in with the administrator credentials to the server through SSH client where the encrypted files are stored.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Note:
    If the remote log server is configured, the encrypted files are stored in the configured remote log server. Else, they are stored in Avaya SBC.
  2. Decrypt the required file using the following command:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -iter 100000 -salt -in <ENCRYPTED_FILENAME> -out <DECRYPTED_FILENAME> -pass pass:<PASS_PHRASE>
    Where:
    <ENCRYPTED_FILENAME> is the encrypted compressed file name with relative path.
    <DECRYPTED_FILENAME> is the decrypted compressed file name with relative path.
    <PASS_PHRASE> is the passphrase configured for encryption. For more information, see Enabling or disabling GDPR.
    For example:
    openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -iter 100000 -salt -in tracesbc_sip_1702994829_1702994834_1.gz.enc -out tracesbc_sip_1702994829_1702994834_1.gz -pass pass:SIPera_123
    STEP RESULT:
    On successful decryption, a compressed file is generated.
  3. Uncompress the file using the following command:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    gunzip <DECRYPTED_FILENAME>
    For example:
    gunzip tracesbc_sip_1702994829_1702994834_1.gz
    STEP RESULT:
    On successful uncompressing, the required file is generated.
