Upgrading v3 to v4 when using rails
dorongutman opened this issue · comments
I'm using symmetric-encryption version 3.7.1 in rails. We don't call SymmetricEncryption.decrypt
or SymmetricEncryption.encrypt
or any direct call to SymmetricEncryption
at all. We only use it as part of rails' active record with mongoid.
So is it true the only thing I need to do is to make sure the ciphers
section in the symmetric-enncryption.yaml
file has encoding: :base64strict
(as opposed to to :base64
), and to add always_add_header: false
?
According to the readme, the defaults have changed, so only set the values if they are not already set in your yaml file. Since encoding is already :base64
I would not change it. Just add always_add_header: false
.
