After the GoldR12 site was upgraded to AC9.0.2 and moved to a new server I can't restore the Encryption Key.

It is stuck at
Your key is being updated...
Remaining Workload: 15 records

I tried Restart and Cancel but neither will respond. It's been stuck for 2 days.

Please advise.

Please check the error log from admin.

Also check the error log in log file (App_Data/Logs/app.log)for any clue.

If nothing works, try restart the IIS and retry the encryption key restore.

Check this link for details about backing up and restoring encryption key:

Thanks.

That page needs updated

Quote:
Whenever you change your key, download the key backup files and store them in a physically secure location. You need both backup files to restore the key.


Only Able 7.x used multiple backup keys. Gold and v9 utilize a single key file.

It is still stuck and showing the same screen.
Restarting IIS did not work and I see nothing in the app.log.
Admin log has " Error recrypting data, could not find valid keys; Recryption cancelled."

What else can I try?

I'm still needing help with this.

After restarting IIS the page is still stuck and the restart and cancel buttons can't be clicked.

I see in the SecurityController:
Quote:

encryptionModel.ChangePanel = "none";
encryptionModel.ChangeProgressPanel = "block";
encryptionModel.trRestartCancel = ((encryptionModel.RemainingWorkLoad == remaining.ToString())) ? "block" : "none";


So I took the "block" styles off of the ChangeProgressPanel and the trRestartCancel,

Then I added "block" to changePanel.

This allowed me to click "Cancel" but it still seems stuck.

Please advise.

Stuck screen

When you are trying to restore the encryption key, does /app_data/encryption.config have any key for example I wonder if its copied from previous install? Make sure that it should be default file the one available in AC9. The restore should create the key entry in after success.

No, there's not any encryption key in the encryption.config.

I manipulated the Encryption.cshtml file so that I could attempt to create a new key. Doesn't Work. When creating a new key it acts like it's processing and gets stuck at 15 records to go.

I've been testing on my local site. I tried creating and encryption key and it said 7 records to go. It's an hour later and it's still not done.

We found the problem by running some queries:
select * from ac_payments where ReCrypt = 1 and EncryptedAccountData is NULL

This returned 15 records, the same number that the progress was stuck on. Can't encrypt null, right?


This was the fix:
update ac_payments set ReCrypt = 0 where ReCrypt = 1


Other tables to check:
ac_PaymentGateways
ac_ShipGateways
ac_TaxGateways

example query:
select * from ac_paymentgateways where recrypt = 1 and configdata is null

Thanks for reporting the issue.


I investigated the related implementation, we actually only set the ReCrypt flag if the EncryptedAccountData is NOT NULL. The update is performed while setting up encryption key, but it seems that the EncryptedAccountData is cleared and updated to NULL by some maintenance routines, and resulted in this issue.

So, as discussed above, that running the following query before restoring or updating/changing the encryption key will save you from the trouble.

Quote:
update ac_payments set ReCrypt = 0 where EncryptedAccountData is NULL AND ReCrypt = 1
