[Requires encryption]

Hi @Petey, 

If you use the macOS Plastic GUI, you will be asked to enter the encryption key. It's not necessary to manually create the configuration files.

As above, on windows, i was not asked to enter a key, i just got the error in the first post. I had to create the files as per my post to get this working.

can you clarify if i did something wrong, missed a step or any other possibility as to how this happened?

thanks,

 

[Requires encryption]

I had a similar issue.

Created an account with encryption for cloud use, no local server

I had to manually create the following two files, as at no point was this done for me, and the files were not in the places suggested by the documentation.

C:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5\client\cryptedservers.conf

C:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5\client\encryption.key

 

cryptedservers.conf

organisation_name@cloud encryption.key

encrypt my password from the command line using the command, and through trial and error find the correct format for the key file to be two fields, <encryption method> <string created by cm crypt command> AES128 works for me, but there are other possibilities.

PS C:\Users\adrian> cm crypt password123
ENCRYPTED: |SoC|YPUeioTz4NqG+n63ZDlw2jwhQDdnFarU

encryption.key

AES128 YPUeioTz4NqG+n63ZDlw2jwhQDdnFarU

Hope this helps someone, I'd be interested to find out if I missed something that meant the files were not created

Thanks,

Adrian.
