### TDS 8 Enhanced Security
6767

68-
To use TDS 8, specify Encrypt=Strict in the connection string. Strict mode disables TrustServerCertificate (always treated as False in Strict mode). HostNameInCertificate has been added to help some Strict mode scenarios. TDS 8 begins and continues all server communication inside a secure, encrypted TLS connection.

To use TDS 8.0, specify Encrypt=Strict in the connection string. Strict mode disables TrustServerCertificate (always treated as False in Strict mode). HostNameInCertificate has been added to help some Strict mode scenarios. TDS 8 begins and continues all server communication inside a secure, encrypted TLS connection.

7070
New Encrypt values have been added to clarify connection encryption behavior. Encrypt=Mandatory is equivalent to Encrypt=True and encrypts connections during the TDS connection negotiation. Encrypt=Optional is equivalent to Encrypt=False and only encrypts the connection if the server tells the client that encryption is required during the TDS connection negotiation.

7272
HostNameInCertificate can be specified in the connection string when using aliases to connect with encryption to a server that has a server certificate with a different name or alternate subject name than the name used by the client to identify the server (DNS aliases, for example). Example usage: HostNameInCertificate=MyDnsAliasName

7577

7678
When connecting in an environment that has unique domain/forest topography, the ServerSPN/Server SPN and FailoverServerSPN/Failover Server SPN connection string settings can be used to override the auto-generated server SPNs used in the library when authenticating with integrated authentication in a domain environment.
