TLS/SSL Tab
The TLS/SSL tab allows you to specify your TLS/SSL settings for the data encryption feature. The fields are optional unless otherwise noted. On this tab, provide values for the options in the following table; then, click Apply.
See "Data Encryption" for a general descriptions of TLS/SSL feature.

Connection Options: Security
Description
Specifies a comma-separated list of the cryptographic protocols to use when accessing an HTTPS endpoint. When multiple protocols are specified, the driver uses the highest version supported by the REST service.
Default: TLSv1.2, TLSv1.1, TLSv1
Determines whether the driver validates the certificate that is sent by the database server when accessing an HTTPS endpoint. When using SSL server authentication, any certificate sent by the server must be issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). Allowing the driver to trust any certificate returned from the server even if the issuer is not a trusted CA is useful in test environments because it eliminates the need to specify truststore information on each client in the test environment.
Default: Enabled
The directory that contains the truststore file and the truststore file name to be used when accessing an HTTPS endpoint and server authentication is used. The truststore file contains a list of the valid Certificate Authorities (CAs) that are trusted by the client machine for SSL server authentication. If you do not specify a directory, the current directory is used.
Default: None
The password that is used to access the truststore file when accessing an HTTPS endpoint and server authentication is used. The truststore file contains a list of the Certificate Authorities (CAs) that the client trusts.
Default: None
The fully qualified path and file name of the keystore file to be used when accessing an HTTPS endpoint and SSL client authentication is enabled for the REST service. The keystore file contains the certificates that the client sends to the server in response to the server’s certificate request. If you do not specify a directory, the current directory is used.
Default: None
The password used to access the keystore file when accessing an HTTPS endpoint and SSL client authentication is enabled for the REST service. The keystore file contains the certificates that the client sends to the server in response to the server’s certificate request.
Default: None
The password used to access the individual keys in the keystore file when accessing an HTTPS endpoint and SSL client authentication is enabled on the REST service. Keys stored in a keystore can be individually password-protected. To extract the key from the keystore, the driver must have the password of the key.
Default: None
A host name for certificate validation when accessing an HTTPS endpoint and validate server certificate is enabled. This option provides additional security against man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks by ensuring that the server the driver is connecting to is the server that was requested.
Default: None
If you finished configuring your driver, proceed to Step 5 in "Configuring the Product Using the GUI". Optionally, you can further configure your driver by clicking on the following tabs. The following sections provide details on the fields specific to each configuration tab:
*General tab allows you to configure options that are required for creating a data source.
*SQL Engine tab allows you to configure the SQL Engine's behavior.
*Authentication tab allows you to configure authentication settings.
*Advanced tab allows you to configure advanced behavior.
