Hi

Nice that a bug has been opened for this Jonathan.

I'm still unsure what to do.
koha-foreach will run a command for each Koha instance. I have two instances, the main "opac" and a test "libtest2" I can create a key in place of __ENCRYPTION_KEY__ within koha-conf-site.xml.in

But what command should I be running with foreach?
Do I need the chdir for whatever command to run?
koha-foreach [--chdir] [command]

I gather that changes in koha-conf-site.xml.in will be propagated to both site files: sites/libtest2/koha-conf.xml and sites/opac/koha-conf.xml
(like changing __KOHASITE__ to the actual site etc ....)

Thanks
Mike

Hello Mike,

I opened bug 31059.
You can use a string that is considered a strong password.
Out of the box Koha does not provide a script to edit this file, but
you could write a script for that (open the xml, generate a key, add
the missing entry, write the xml) then use koha-foreach to run it for
each koha site.

Regards,
Jonathan

Hi All

Just upgraded tonight from Koha 21.11.05.000 to 22.05.00-1
That all went fine.

The About Koha page now says:
"Warning: You are missing the <encryption_key> entry in your
koha-conf.xml file. Please generate a key."

I can see a place for this is the koha-conf-site.xml.in file (and a
suggestion to use pwgen 32) but how do you process this to the
koha-conf.xml files for each site?

The "pwgen 32" suggests this should be 32 characters and is itself just
something that no one should be able to guess. So I can can just put
anything in there that is long and complex?

I could not find anything about this is the docs or wiki or recent
emails, just the patch for it in the github repo via Google.

Thanks
Mike
