Where is the problem?

https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/latest/kong-enterprise/db-encryption/

What happened?

The page here: https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/latest/kong-enterprise/db-encryption/#disaster-recovery does not seem to function as expected. After running the disaster recovery Admin API call further requests to create entities using the key will fail.

What did you expect to happen?

This is missing reference to activation step as can be seen here: https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/latest/kong-enterprise/db-encryption/#rotating-key-material to run an Admin API call like:

curl -s localhost:8001/keyring/activate -d key=8zgITLQh

Without this step the recovered key will still not be used and keyring will appear to still be broken and new entities which require this key will fail to be created.
