The following table summarizes how security-related connection options work with the drivers. See "Connection Option Descriptions" in each driver chapter for details about configuring the options.
| Option | Characteristic |
|---|---|
| Crypto Protocol Version | The cryptographic protocols the driver uses when SSL is enabled. |
| CryptoLibName | The absolute path for the OpenSSL library file containing the cryptographic library to be used by the data source or connection. |
| Encryption Method | The method the driver uses to encrypt data sent between the driver and the database server. |
| Enable FIPS | Determines whether the OpenSSL library uses cryptographic algorithms from the FIPS provider or the default provider. |
| Host Name In Certificate | The host name established by the SSL administrator for the driver to validate the host name contained in the certificate. |
| Key Password | The password required to access an individual key in the keystore. |
| Keystore | The path that specifies the location of the keystore file. |
| Keystore Password | The password required to access the keystore. |
| PRNGSeedFile (UNIX/Linux only) | The absolute path for the entropy-source file or device used as a seed for SSL key generation. |
| PRNGSeedSource (UNIX/Linux only) | The source of the seed the driver uses for SSL key generation. |
| SSLLibName | The absolute path for the OpenSSL library file containing the SSL library to be used by the data source or connection. |
| Truststore | The path that specifies the location of the truststore file. |
| Truststore Password | The password required to access the truststore. |
| Validate Server Certificate | Validates the security certificate of the server as part of the SSL authentication handshake. |
