INFO: "Encrypt" Has Been Added to the SqlConnection Keywords
This article was previously published under Q306724
This article refers to the following Microsoft .NET
Framework Class Library namespace:
SUMMARY
Support for the keyword "encrypt" has been added to the
SqlConnection
ConnectionString property.
MORE INFORMATION
In order to add explicit support for Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) encryption between the Microsoft SQL Server server and the client, the
SqlConnection object has been extended to support the use of the keyword
"encrypt" in the
ConnectionString property.
Valid values for this keyword are:
true,
false,
yes, and
no.
The following are examples of how to use the keyword
"encrypt."
Note In the following sample code, you must change
uid=UserName and
pwd=StrongPassword to the correct values. Make sure that the user ID
has the appropriate permissions to perform this operation on the database.
' Visual Basic .NET
Dim con As New SqlConnection("server=MachineX;uid=UserName;pwd=StrongPassword;encrypt=yes")
// Visual C# .NET
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("server=MachineX;uid=UserName;pwd=StrongPassword;encrypt=yes");
// JScript .NET
var con:SqlConnection = new SqlConnection("server=MachineX;uid=UserName;pwd=StrongPassword;encrypt=yes");
// Visual C++
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("server=MachineX;uid=UserName;pwd=StrongPassword;encrypt=yes");
- SSL encryption is only supported if the SQL Server computer
has a valid certificate installed.
- The default value is false.
