Important Note on Upgrading

If you are upgrading from a 3.x version of Snipe-IT, your app key was generated using the (deprecated) mcrypt library. Snipe-IT 4.x defaults to using an OpenSSL cipher instead of mcrypt – which will cause no issues if you are installing for the first time, but if you’re upgrading, you may get a cipher error. If this happens, do the following:

• Add a line to your .env file: APP_CIPHER=rijndael-256
• Clear your config cache: php artisan config:clear and php artisan config:cache
• Clear your app cache:php artisan cache:clear
• Clear your browser sessions

If this fails, you CAN regenerate your app key, however this is strongly recommended against for existing installs. Changing your app key will:

• make any encrypted fields undecryptable
• make your LDAP password undecryptable
• void all browser sessions

If setting your APP_CIPHER doesn’t work and you have encrypted custom fields, please open a ticket instead of regenerating your app key. We’ll try to work through how to resolve it without wiping your key.
