Purpose

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

Valid Values

noEncryption | SSL | requestSSL

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.

If set to requestSSL, the login request and data is encrypted using SSL. If the database server does not support SSL, the driver establishes an unencrypted connection.

    • CryptoProtocolVersion
    • HostNameInCertificate
    • KeyStore (for SSL client authentication)
    • KeyStorePassword (for SSL client authentication)
    • KeyPassword (for SSL client authentication)
    • TrustStore
    • TrustStorePassword
    • ValidateServerCertificate
