[Koha] Adding an encryption_key to koha-conf.xml

[Jonathan Druart]

Hello Mike,

I opened bug 31059.
You can use a string that is considered a strong password.
Out of the box Koha does not provide a script to edit this file, but
you could write a script for that (open the xml, generate a key, add
the missing entry, write the xml) then use koha-foreach to run it for
each koha site.

Regards,
Jonathan
