With a new chef-vault version 3.1.0 a new feature was introduced:

  • Avoid re-encrypting key for all existing clients #269

This change is undesirable in environments where nodes are recreated. In such situations re-encrypting keys was fixing obsolete keys and allowing access to vault's items. Now it does not update client keys, and requires to delete, and re-add client to vault, for all vault items.

Keys should be re-encrypted if node client key has changed, or there should be an opt-in flag to force re-encryption.

Looking at how the code is written, a short term workaround would be to rotate the symetrical key with knife vault rotate all keys.
I'll have a quick look at how adding an option to force re-encryption on a normal refresh.

re-encrypting symetrical key for each existing clients.

This lead to issues when clients change their chef key.

This patch adds an option --force-reencryption to workaround that for
users having such behavior.
