Description

The DATA_ENCRYPTION option specifies whether or not all data sent over the network is encrypted when using the UNVv2 protocol.

Encryption protects the privacy of the data. UNVv2 data encryption uses one of several encryption algorithms, such as the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm.

DATA_ENCRYPTION does not have any effect on SSL/TLS protocol. See the DATA_SSL_CIPHER_LIST option for SSL/TLS encryption.

Values

option is the specification for whether or not data is encrypted.

Valid values for option are:

yes
Data encryption is required for the UNVv2 protocol. All network data transfers are encrypted regardless of UCMD Manager's DATA_ENCRYPTION option.
no
Data encryption is not required. However, UCMD Manager still can request data encryption via its DATA_ENCRYPTION option.

Default is no.
