Decrypting with Master Encryption Key

Curious

Hi All,

I've had a catastrophic failure of ITFlow docker installation.
Luckily, I performed a DB backup and Master Encryption Key Backup moment beforehand.

I have had to manually update the sql dump to match the schema of the new current database version.
Plus a lot of other work just to get the dump to import.

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to understand how to use the Master Encryption Key backup to retrieve encrypted usernames and passwords stored in the logins table.

Is anyone able to shed some light on this for me?

Thanks. xo

Bigbug Hello Bigbug 🙂

Thankyou for your reply! This would have been most helpful!

However, I experimented, and found.
If you place your Master Encryption Key in /var/www/itflow.domain.com/setup.php during OOBE (Fresh install, at setup via http) and comment out "randomString();" then continue with setup as normal.
Importing an existing sql dump with hashed passwords will decrypt just fine 🙂

Incredible!

eg;

//Generate master encryption key

$site_encryption_masterkey = "MASTERENCRYPTION_KEY"; //randomString();

It is obviously wise to remove your master encryption key from setup.php and return the line to default, once ITFlow is up and running 🙂
