After I updated from nc 24.0.8.2 to 5.0.2.3, I noticed an error message: The required secret config variable is not configured in the config.php file. [...]. After a quick search, I found that I had configured the secret wrong in my puppet template. After fixing that, everything worked. But I took a look into the documentation about the secret parameter in the config.php. There I was dissappoiinted to find, that there is little information available.
Could anyone tell me:
- What the secret is used for? A more detailed answer than “It’s for de- and encrypting data” would be helpful.
- is there a way to update the value of
secret?
