Cannot start Bamboo due to pad block corrupted error

Andreas Pohl

We cloned the database schema to a test instance.

Bamboo doesn't start afterwards because of the following error message:

FATAL [localhost-startStop-1] [BambooContainer] Cannot start bamboo
com.google.common.util.concurrent.UncheckedExecutionException: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.bouncycastle.crypto.InvalidCipherTextException: pad block corrupted

Editing the bamboo-mail.cfg.xml as described at https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamkb/upgrade-task-51602-fails-pad-block-corrupted-915474011.html doesn't help.

Any idea how can we start Bamboo?

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for reaching out to the Atlassian Community!

The "Pad block corrupted" error occurs when we're unable to correctly use the Bamboo Cipher.

The Cipher is split between the database and filesystem, and the filesystem part is stored in

<bamboo-home>/xml-data/configuration/cipher/cipher.key_0

When you cloned the Bamboo database, did you also copy the Bamboo Home directory? If you did not, please:

Stop Bamboo
Copy the cipher.key_0 file from the original Bamboo instance to the clone into the correct directory – you may need to create the `<bamboo-home>/xml-data/configuration/cipher/cipher.key_x`
Start Bamboo

Please let us know if this works, or if you have any other questions!

Thanks,

Elias | Bamboo Support
