Attribute
EnableDataEncryption (EDE)
Purpose
Determines whether the driver uses data encryption.
Valid Values
1 | 0
Behavior
If set to 1 (Enabled), the driver encrypts data and
communicates with the Teradata gateway using encryption.
If set to 0 (Disabled), the driver does not encrypt data
except for logon information.
Notes
- Before you use this value, verify that the server is encryption capable. Data encryption may adversely affect performance because of the additional overhead (mainly CPU usage) required to encrypt and decrypt data.
Default
0 (Disabled)
