Hi,

I could like to understand the SSL "force protocal encryption" on SQL 2000, if I do this:

1: how much extra resource it will take to do encryption?
2: What certificate should we use, must we use certicate from public certification authority?
3: how will the client side affected after I turn on force protocal encryption? should it be transparent to them if we install public certificate on the server?
4: Can client still connect to server using IP address, or must FQDN is required?

Thanks
Frank
