Hi,

I'm writing here in the hopes that someone has an idea about what I'm
seeing (and/or could maybe forward to gt-dev).

I'm trying to manually deserialize the contents of the
.globus/persisted/<ip-port>/DelegatedResource directory on a GT 4.0.x
container. The serialized files contain the credentials (which I'm after
for my Auditing project), but these aren't fully plaintext. There's
control characters in regular distances within the credentials,
rendering them unusable.

I have manually found out that the characters are a "z", followed by two
to four bytes of non-ASCII stuff. However, I have got no idea what
brings them there.

>From browsing the source I think I have deducted that the serialization
process inherits from the BeanSerialization class, but I'm not sure
where exactly the DelegatedResource handling is in the Container code.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Regards,

--ck
