Draft: Initialize ActiveRecord encryption keys
What does this MR do and why?
Add configuration code to enable ActiveRecord encryption.
Having the configuration set up is the first step to move away from attr_encrypted gem. Once we have this set up, new columns requiring encryption can start to use ActiveRecord encryption. Meanwhile, we can continue investigating the work needed to migrate existing columns that use attr_encrypted.
Todo:
-
Make relevant changes in Omnibus -
