Database connection encryption

    Hi all,

    I'm planning to migrate some applications to connect to our SQL 2008 R2 instances using encrypted connections. However, one thing I'm trying to understand is whether I can use encrypted and unencrypted connections at the same time? For instance, I only need to encrypt connections that use a specific database, and leave all other ones as they are. Is this possible, or is the connection encryption an all or nothing process?

    Thanks,

    Dan

    You can set clients to ask for encrypted connections. The server with a cert can allow this, while still allowing unencrypted connections from some clients.
