Determines whether data is encrypted and decrypted when 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 when the driver is configured for SSL and the database server 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
