Default
Encrypt=0
Usage
SQL Server 2005 always
encrypts network packets associated with logging in to the server.
If no certificate is provided on the server when it starts up, SQL Server generates a self-signed
certificate that is used to encrypt login packets.
SQL Server Configuration
Manager can be used to configure the SQL Native Client
to request an encrypted connection using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),
and to accept a self-signed certificate without validation. You
can also request encryption by setting the Encrypt DbParameter to
1, which sets the SQL Native
Client connection string keyword Encrypt. To enable encryption to
be used when a certificate has not been provided on the server,
set both Encrypt and TrustServerCertificate. The value of TrustServerCertificate
is ignored if Encrypt is not set.
