Public Property TrustServerCertificate As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

A boolean. The default is false.

Remarks

This property corresponds to the "Trust Server Certificate" and "TrustServerCertificate" keys within the connection string.

When Trust Server Certificate is set to true, the transport layer will use TLS to encrypt the channel and bypass walking the certificate chain to validate trust. If Trust Server Certificate is set to true and encryption is enforced by target server, the encryption level specified on the server will be used even if Encrypt is set to false. The connection will fail otherwise.
