First export the setting via Web-GUI as exp-File (System –> Settings –> Export Settings).
Now create a new perl script for Base64-decoding on your host…


#!/usr/bin/perl
#Scriptname: decode

use strict;
use MIME::Base64;

local($/) = undef; # slurp

my $decoded = decode_base64(<STDIN>);
$decoded =~ s/&/n/gms;
print $decoded;


… and decode the file with the Sonicwall configuration:

cat sonicwall-PRO_xxxx_Enhanced-3_x_x_x-xxx.exp | ./decode


Here is an example of a Sonicwall Configuration:

checksumVersion=1
buildNum=3.x.x.x-xxx

cfspName_0=Default
cfspOptionMask_0=7
