Rundeck Decryption Failed

[Jeremy Vermillion]

I was updating an existing instance of Rundeck 3.4.3 to Rundeck 3.4.4 and now when I log in I get a Decryption Failed error.  I believe the rundeck-config.properties may have been overwritten. Is there a way to get this back?

Hi Jeremy,

That’s right, probably the rundeck-config.properties file content doesn’t match with the encryption expected from the backend side.

If your instance is DEB-based, you can check the /etc/rundeck directory and rename the rundeck-config.properties.dpkg-old file as the original file, take a look.

If your instance is RPM-based you can take a look at the /etc/rundeck directory and check if exist any difference between rundeck-config.properties (current version) and rundeck-config.properties.rpmnew files (generated by the new version), take a look.

Anyway, the easy way to bring back your files is under a good server backup policy.

Hope it helps!

I checked the /etc/rundeck directory but I don't see that it generated a file called  rundeck-config.properties.dpkg-old, I only see a file called rundeck-config.properties.dpkg-dist

Hi Jeremy,

Checking this, the file could contain the original 3.4.3 rundeck-config.properties content. Anyway, if you followed the upgrading process from the docs, the process will generate a .dpgk-old file. Weird.

Regards!
