enabling encryption is too error-prone

    • Encryption
    • None

    Description

      There are many *-encrypt- options and they *all have to be enabled to prevent data leaks.

      A possible solution could be a “meta-option” --encryption that would enable or disable all other encryption-related options.

          A much simpler solution is to provide a "preset" file, lilke

          /etc/my.cnf.d/enable_encryption.preset

          		 
          [mariadb]
          		 
          aria-encrypt-tables
          		 
          encrypt-binlog
          		 
          encrypt-tmp-disk-tables
          		 
          encrypt-tmp-files
          		 
          loose-innodb-encrypt-log
          		 
          loose-innodb-encrypt-tables

          and let the user !include it into his my.cnf as needed.
