Installation¶ ↑

• Change directory to /path/to/redmine/ .

• Update the “database_cipher_key” configuration located in +/path/to/redmine/config/configuration.yml file with some random key (this key will be used to cipher/decipher the wiki content)

• For redmine v2.x.x, edit the application.rb file (/path/to/redmine/config/application.rb), adding “:text” to the filter parameters (config.filter_parameters += [:password, :text]).

• Restart redmine.

How to change the cipher key¶ ↑

The key used to encrypt is based on the “database_cipher_key” configuration in the /path/to/redmine/config/configuration.yml file. To modify the key, update the /path/to/redmine/config/configuration.yml file, run the script /path/to/wikicipherplugin/bin/updatekey.rb, passing the old key and the new key as parameters and restart redmine.

How to remove the encryption¶ ↑

The key used to encrypt is based on the “database_cipher_key” configuration in the /path/to/redmine/config/configuration.yml file. To modify the key, update the /path/to/redmine/config/configuration.yml file, setting the ‘database_cipher_key’ as empty , run the script /path/to/wikicipherplugin/bin/updatekey.rb, passing the old key as parameter and restart redmine.
