Sharing Encrypted Files
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Only users who have private encryption keys (via logging out and logging back in to
|
||||
create their keys) have access to shared encrypted files and folders. Users who have not
|
||||
yet created their private encryption keys will not have access to encrypted shared files;
|
||||
they will see folders and filenames, but will not be able to open or download the files.
|
||||
They will see a yellow warning banner that says "Encryption App is enabled but your keys
|
||||
are not initialized, please log-out and log-in again."
|
||||
|
||||
Share owners may need to re-share files after encryption is enabled; users trying to
|
||||
access the share will see a message advising them to ask the share owner to re-share the
|
||||
file with them. For individual shares, un-share and re-share the file. For group shares,
|
||||
share with any individuals who can't access the share. This updates the encryption, and
|
||||
then the share owner can remove the individual shares.

LDAP and Other External User Back-ends
|

--------------------------------------
|
||||
|

If you use an external user back-end, such as an LDAP or Samba server, you must
|
||||
take care to not change user passwords on the back-end, as this will lock users
|
||||
out of their encrypted files. If you have enabled the Recovery Key then you can
|
||||
change a user's password in the ownCloud Users panel to match their back-end
|
||||
password.
|

If you use an external user back-end, such as an LDAP or Samba server, and you change a
|
||||
user's password on the back-end, the user will be prompted to change their ownCloud login
|
||||
to match on their next ownCloud login. The user will need both their old and new passwords
|
||||
to do this. If you have enabled the Recovery Key then you can change a user's password in
|
||||
the ownCloud Users panel to match their back-end password, and then, of course, notify the
|
||||
user and give them their new password.
