Cannot unlock LUKS volumes offline with Network-Bound Disk Encryption configured
Issue
- During network outage, the system is unable to reach Tang server and automatically decrypt the disk. In such scenario it is expected that users will get a prompt to manually enter the passphrase. But the server did not prompt for passphrase and dropped the control to
dracut
prompt.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.9
- LUKS encryption using NBDE (Network-Bound Disk Encryption)
