Hello
The documentation says that the key length should be a string with 32 character. If I “decompile” the auto generated key then that one is much larger.
So can you confirm that 32 ASCII alpha-numeric characters are ok ?
Thanks
John

Seems providing the encryption key does not work
encryptionKey →
{“t”:{“$date”:“2022-11-02T16:13:05.695+00:00”},“s”:“E”, “c”:“STORAGE”, “id”:29038, “ctx”:“initandlisten”,“msg”:“Exception in EncryptionKeyDB::init: {e}”,“attr”:{“e”:“cannot read stats of encryption key file: /etc/mongodb-encryption/encryption-key: No such file or directory”}}

so what is the correct procedure to create a encryption key and set it as a secret ?

May be I am in the wrong movie … so you guys are producing bugs and we can be lucky, that we can experience the bugs and help to fix them ?
Do we need to have a call with your manager ?

@jamoser,
We are not producing bugs, no. This is clearly a simple documentation mistake. If you’d like to help out the rest of the community, it would be appreciated.
