INF: Network Encryption Available Using the Multi-Protocol Net Library (132224)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SQL Server 6.0
- Microsoft SQL Server 6.5
- Microsoft SQL Server 7.0
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (all editions)
This article was previously published under Q132224 SQLBUG_70 (55977) SUMMARY Microsoft SQL Server allows for encryption of data "over
the wire" for both 16-bit and 32-bit clients with the encryption option of the
Multi-Procotol Network Library. MORE INFORMATION To enable encryption in SQL Server 6.0 and 6.5, select the
Enable Multi Protocol Encryption checkbox in the SQL Server Setup program when
you add the Multi-Protocol network library. To enable encryption in SQL Server
7.0, when you add the Multi-Protocol network library using the SQL Server
Network utility, select the "Enable multi-protocol encryption" checkbox. For
more information, search on Establishing an Encrypted Connection in Books Online.
In SQL Server 2000, every network
library has a checkbox in the SQL Server Network Utility that allows you to
enable encryption.
SQL Server relies on the Microsoft Windows
operating system to perform the encryption of network traffic. Therefore, the
operating system determines the size and type of the encryption key.
