RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Parikshit Khedekar 2020-12-02 18:59:37 UTC 
Description of problem:

While performing a "from scratch" installation of RHEL 8.3 during the disk partitioning layout
setup. If you check "Custom" radio button the "Encrypt my data" radio button is hidden.

If you check the "Encrypt my data" radio button first and then check "Custom" radio button
the "Encrypt my data" radio button is hidden.

Selecting "Done" you get NO dialog for a passphrase.

Proceeding with custom layout and install the disk is NOT encrypted as desired.


It works fine with 8.2 and if I use a kickstart with line as following for 8.3 

part pv.236 --fstype="lvmpv" --ondisk=Xda --size=XXXXX --encrypted --luks-version=luks2 --passphrase=XXXXXXX


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3

How reproducible:

Always 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot with RHEL 8.3 ISO
2. Select language
3. Select "Installation Destination"
4. Click on "Custom" radio button ( Checkbox for "Encrypt my data" disappears )
5. Click on "Automatic" radio button ( Checkbox for "Encrypt my data" appears )
6. Check the checkbox "Encrypt my data"  and click on "Custom" radio button again the Checkbox for "Encrypt my data" disappears
7. Create partitions but it won't ask for passphrase though I have selected the checkbox for "Encrypt my data"
8. And the install proceeds with no encryption set though we want to set.

Actual results:

No encryption set or passphrase asked

Expected results:

Should allow LUKS with custom partitioning.

Comment 1 Jan Stodola 2020-12-02 19:21:01 UTC 
Workaround is to set encryption in the custom partitioning screen for the devices you want to have encrypted - anaconda will ask you for the passphrase when leaving the spoke.

I've updated the bug summary, since the custom partitioning spoke still allows to set encryption manually.
Comment 24 Marta Lewandowska 2021-06-29 13:26:32 UTC 
Tested using anaconda-33.16.5.2-1.el8 in compose RHEL-8.5.0-20210626.d.0.
'Encrypt my data' check box is present in custom partitioning spoke and disappears once you "Click here to create them automatically"
If you want to encrypt data at this point instead, you can still click the Encrypt checkbox next to Device type.
Either way, you are asked to enter a passphrase when leaving the custom partitioning spoke.
