Purpose

Determines whether data is encrypted and decrypted when transmitted over the network between the driver and LDAP server.

Valid values

noEncryption | SSL

Behavior

If set to noEncryption, data is neither encrypted nor decrypted.

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

Notes

  • Connection hangs can occur when the driver is configured for TLS/SSL and the LDAP server does not support TLS/SSL. You may want to set a login timeout using the LDAPLoginTimeout property to avoid problems when connecting to a server that does not support SSL.
  • To enable Oracle Advanced Security encryption, you can set the EncryptionLevel connection property.
