IP address Encrypted #19

Closed tboulogne closed 4 years ago

Hello,

I face this issue

django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: cannot cast type inet to bytea
LINE 1: ...access" ALTER COLUMN "ac_ip" TYPE bytea USING "ac_ip"::bytea

When i try to encrypt an ipaddress field :

ac_ip = encrypt(models.GenericIPAddressField(
        verbose_name="IP", protocol='IPv4', blank=True, null=True))

Anyway to workaround this ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Thierry

Sorry for the delayed response, I hope you found a workaround to this! For any who encountering this problem for the first time... This seems like another one of those issues that can be fixed by making a new encrypted field, migrating the data to it, then deleting the old plaintext field, finally rename the new encrypted field to whatever the old field was named. It is the standard switcheroo required when encrypting a field.
