Hi, I have a sql server 2000 (sp3) (say A). I have installed a verisign cert
on it. I can access this server through a vb client by using "Use Encryption
for Data=True" in the connection string. Now, I want to do the same thing for
a sql server (B) which accesses A using linked server route. Basically B is
acting as a client of A. Where do I specify the encryption parameter so that
data flow between B and A is encrypted?? I tried using this, but does not
work:

exec sp_addlinkedserver
        @server='test',
        @datasrc=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,
        @provider='SQLOLEDB',
        @srvproduct='SQLServer OLEDB Provider',
        @provstr='Use Encryption for Data=True'
GO

I use a sniffer to see my net traffic. The traffic in not encrypted. Thanks.
