SECRET_KEY and upgrade v3.4.x to v3.5.0

[cs-1]

I'd like to upgrade to v3.5.0 but looking at the breaking changes list, using a 50 char minimum length is now enforced. We now use 45 chars. Checking Django docs on the web, changing the key only breaks open sessions so I assume that simply changing the key to a longer one won't do any harm to NetBox. Can anyone confirm that this is the case and nothing will break in other places in NetBox when changing the SECRET_KEY parameter and restarting netbox / netbox-sq? Thanks for your help!

Nothing will break.

Yes, I tested on my staging system that indeed everything will work. For all people who migrate: creating a new key with

python3 /opt/netbox/netbox/generate_secret_key.py

will give you a key with the proper length.

Yes. I just changed mine last night with no ill effects.
