  Hi

  In SQL22, Is there a way to allow only / force encrypted connections?

  I have 'force encryption' on and have cert installed:

  

   

  But when I connect via SSMS I can unselect ' Encrypt Connection' and it connects. My understanding is that means that it is allowing non-encrypted connections:

  

  How do I make my SQL server not support non-encrypted traffic?

  If I run:

  USE [master]

  GO

  SELECT DISTINCT (encrypt_option)

  FROM sys.dm_exec_connections;

  GO

   

  I get:

  encrypt_option

  FALSE

  TRUE

  Hi,

  is the SSMS on the same server like the sql server?

  And what kind of protocols are active on the sql server?
