Hi all,

does anybody know how to encrypt the connection to my SQL Server 2016 with SSL?

I know this is more a Yii framework question but I almost spent a whole day and I still have no idea.

Thanks

I'm using LimeSurvey with MS SQLServer, so I cannot test my recommendation

SQL Server are using certain flags, which enforce encryption and cert checking.

Encrypt-Specifies whether the communication with SQL Server is encrypted (1 or TRUE) or unencrypted (0 or FALSE).

TrustServerCertificate - Specifies whether the client should trust (1 or TRUE) or reject (0 or FALSE) a self-signed server certificate.

The complete options:
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/php...view=sql-server-2016

A simple PHP code would look like this:

$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"DbName",
                         "UID"=>"UserName",
                         "PWD"=>"Password",
                         "Encrypt"=>true,
                         "TrustServerCertificate"=>false);
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);

Hi Jelo,

thanks for the answer. You are totaly right. I had the solution right in front of my eyes but I insert the Encrypt => true, on the wrong place... Wasted a couple of hours -.-

Thanks
