ENCRYPT_CDR Configuration Parameter

default value

0

range of values

0 do not encrypt

1 encrypt when possible

2 always encrypt

takes effect

when Enterprise Replication is initialized

The ENCRYPT_CDR configuration parameter sets the level of encryption for Enterprise Replication.

If the ENCRYPT_CDR configuration parameter is set to 1, then encryption is used for Enterprise Replication transactions only when the database server being connected to also supports encryption. This option allows unencrypted communication with versions of Dynamic Server prior to 9.40.

If the ENCRYPT_CDR configuration parameter is set to 2, then only connections to encrypted database servers are allowed.

If you use both encryption and compression (by setting the CDR_NIFCOMPRESS configuration parameter), then compression occurs before encryption.
