Greetings, all! I've recently rediscovered some files on my server which are encrypted and shouldn't be. I thought this issue was gone, but apparently not.
Here's the story: I originally installed ownCloud 7 on my
server. Sometime thereafter I enabled encryption (pretty sure I set a
master password too, which I remember) and eventually (on the oC 8
upgrade? I can't remember) performed that incredibly long key
migration upgrade that everyone was filing issues about - not sure if
that completed 100%, but I think it did. Pretty soon after that I
disabled encryption. However, it's unclear to me as to whether the
decryption process ever actually finished, as I started it in a
browser which subsequently got closed or timed out, etc. I seem to
recall initiating the process multiple times, assuming that it had
timed out.
I can't remember the details as well at this point, but I *believe* I
eventually gave up and reenabled encryption. When the ownCloud with
Encryption 2.0 came out, I upgraded to that, migrated my keys, and
disabled encryption entirely. (That being said, I don't remember that
well, so the details in this paragraph may be incorrect.)
Today I tried to access some files in the desktop client, and got
"Internal Server Error" and "Connection closed," etc. Checking the
ownCloud log showed messages like the following:
Exception: {"Message":"HTTP/1.1 503 Encryption not ready: Module with id:
OC_DEFAULT_MODULE does not exist. [...remainder snipped]
Upon seeing this I enabled the default encryption module (which
prompted me to run upgrade routines, which I started in the web
interface but stopped and restarted on the CLI) and tried again. This
yielded log entries similar to the following:
Exception: {"Message":"HTTP\/1.1 503 Encryption not ready: Private Key
missing for user: please try to log-out and log-in again [...remainder snipped]
So, I logged out and logged back in again. This didn't really have any
effect, as one might expect given the mess that encryption is in on my
system. :(
I figured there would've been keys left over that were never properly
migrated, so I ran `occ encryption:migrate`, but after a while
realized that that might be doing more damage, so killed it. Perhaps
not the best response, but that's what happened.
`occ encryption:status` gives:
- enabled: false
- defaultModule: OC_DEFAULT_MODULE
I have backups at the following points in time:
* Before disabling encryption (I *think* the very first time, if not the second
- not quite sure as I didn't specify in the backup name)
* Right before upgrading from 8.1 to 8.2
* Ditto for 8.2 to 9.0
* Right after I reenabled the default encryption module, today, on
9.0.4
I would *seriously* appreciate it if someone could help me sort out
the complete mess I've described above.
Thanks,
Alex Jordan (AJ)
