Purpose

Determines whether data is encrypted and decrypted when transmitted over the network between the driver and database server using Oracle Advanced Security encryption.

Valid Values

rejected | accepted | requested | required

Behavior

If set to rejected, data sent between the driver and the database server is not encrypted or decrypted. The connection fails if the database server specifies REQUIRED.

If set to accepted, data sent between the driver and the database server is encrypted and decrypted if the database server requests or requires it.

If set to requested, data sent between the driver and the database server is encrypted and decrypted if the database server permits it.

If set to required, data sent between the driver and the database server must be encrypted and decrypted. The connection fails if the database server specifies REJECTED.

Notes

  • When this property is set to accepted, requested, or required, the EncryptionTypes connection property determines which Oracle Advanced Security algorithms are used.
  • To enable SSL encryption, you can set the EncryptionMethod connection property.
  • Consult your database administrator to verify the data encryption settings of your Oracle server.
