Using the ODBC Client : Specifying ODBC Connection Attributes : Encrypted (SSL)
 

Encrypted (SSL)

Attribute

Encrypted (ENC)

Description

Enables the use of SSL encryption for data exchanged with the OpenAccess SDK Server. When SSL encryption is configured on the OpenAccess SDK Server, only this setting is required.
Note: When an OpenAccess SDK 8.1 client connects to a OpenAccess SDK 8.1 server, the OpenAccessSDK 8.1 behavior is used for the SSL connection. No SSL shutdown is sent and the whole session will be SSL encrypted.
Note: When an OpenAccess SDK 8.1 client connects with Encrypted=1 to an OpenAccess SDK 8.1 server, the client does not read the DataSourceSSLDataEncryption service attribute. The whole session will be SSL encrypted.
Note: The Encrypted connection attribute is mutually exclusive with the UseLDAP connection attribute.

Valid Values

0 | 1
If set to 0 (disabled), the ODBC Client does not use SSL encryption. User credentials are encrypted using the S-coder algorithm, and data is sent over in clear text. The ServiceSSLEnabled service attribute must be set to True.
If set to 1 (enabled), the ODBC Client uses SSL encryption; the OpenAccess SDK server must be started with SSLEnabled=1. For more information about using the SSLEnabled and DataSourceSSLDataEncryption service attribute, refer to OpenAccess SDK Administrator’s Guide.
