Can anyone reproduce this?<br>
<br>
The only way you can reach the bit of code that generates the log
message is if there is a form input called "req" which is used to
hold the 9-digit number (or string of 3 words) that make up the
request code. And "req" must have a non-empty value.<br>
<br>
Unless you're responding to a request, this form input is always
empty.<br>

John — One final question: During the upgrade, did it tell you to
generate a better cookieSecret? And did you do so? Changing the
cookieSecret while it is in use can also break things for users who
happen to be logged in and interacting with the website at the time
you change cookieSecret.<br>

While creating a drop-off, the authenticated customer was prompted
for a passphrase. This was entered and accepted. Checksum was also
requested.
<br>
<br>
When the upload was complete, the 'Outbox' showed the files with
an "X" in the encrypted column. When later performing the pickup,
no passphrase was requested.
<br>
<br>
When I later looked in the logs, I found:
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Error: Should be encrypting files but
failed to read the passphrase, so not encrypting. If this
drop-off came from a request, the encoded passphrase in the
request got corrupted!
<br>

<br>
which I traced to line 2531 of NSSDropoff.php
<br>
which is preceded with the comment block
<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">// If we got the encryption passphrase
from a request, but failed to
<br>
// be able to read it, the user won't have been prompted to
enter one.
<br>
// So we have no way of finding it! So if that failed, don't
encrypt
<br>
// at all.
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
But this drop/pickup didn't originate with a 'request'. It was
done by an interactive, authenticated user. The user requested
encryption, supplied the phrase, and the application seems to have
quietly failed to encrypt an otherwise acceptable (not too large)
file.
<br>
<br>
I'm unable to reproduce this failure.
<br>
<br>
If the customer asks to encrypt an over-sized file, it is plainly
refused. If encryption has been requested and can't be done for
some other reason, shouldn't that be a blocking-situation?
