I recently inherited a site that uses aes in conjunction with the salesforce module. The site was moved to a new server prior to my involvement. The new site is missing the aes.key file. Is there a way to recreate that key file? Or is my only option to get the key from the previous developers?

@rcharamella, one of goal of using this module is to make some data erypted in case of database loss. So if you have encryption settings set to file, you need that file definitely.

I highly recommend you to ask people who previously maintained the site for a keyfile (in some cases asking sysadmin person might be more helpful).

I assume site was configured in a smart way and keyfile was just stored outside website root in particular and not under webserver directory. You may examile settings variable to give a hint to person who you will ask.
