Purpose

Determines whether SSL encryption is used to encrypt and decrypt data transmitted over the network between the driver and database server.

Valid Values

noEncryption | SSL

Behavior

If set to noEncryption, data is not encrypted or decrypted.

If set to SSL, data is encrypted using SSL. If the database server does not support SSL, the connection fails and the driver throws an exception.

Notes

  • Connection hangs can occur if the driver attempts to connect to a database server that does not support SSL. You may want to set a login timeout using the LoginTimeout property to avoid problems when connecting to a server that does not support SSL.
  • When SSL is enabled, the following properties also apply:

    CryptoProtocolVersion

    HostNameInCertificate

    KeyStore (for SSL client authentication)

    KeyStorePassword (for SSL client authentication)

    KeyPassword (for SSL client authentication)

    TrustStore

    TrustStorePassword

    ValidateServerCertificate

Default

noEncryption

Data Type

String
