Can't enable server-side encryption on Nextcloud 16.0.2 and 16.0.3 #16410
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Install a new Nextcloud 16.0.3 or 16.0.2
(you can use the docker image, the archive file or use an instant trial on https://demo.nextcloud.com/) - Enable the app 'Default encryption module'
- Enable server-side encryption in settings
Expected behaviour
Server-side encryption should be enabled.
New keys should be generated in 'data/files_encryption'
Actual behaviour
Server-side encryption is not enabled.
You get no error message on the GUI.
After refreshing the site (pressing F5) the tick at the box "Enable server-side encryption" disappeared.
No new keys got generated in the '/data/' directory.
When activating server-side encryption in settings an XHR POST request will be sent to '/ocs/v2.php/apps/provisioning_api/api/v1/config/apps/core/encryption_enabled'
The response of this XHR request is "The given key can not be set"
Nextcloud 16.0.1 works without problems.
A few hours https://demo.nextcloud.com/ got updated to Nextcloud 16.0.3
(Yesterday it was still Nextcloud 16.0.1)
The problem also occurs there.
