Cannot unlock LUKS volumes offline with Network-Bound Disk Encryption configured

Solution Unverified - Updated -

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)
