    Property Value

    List of allowed ciphers separated by colons. The default value is empty string, which means that any cipher is allowed.
    Remarks

    The following ciphers are allowed in dotConnect for MySQL:

    • DES(40)
    • DES or DES(56)
    • 3DES or DES(168)
    • AES(128)
    • AES or AES(256)
    • RC4(40)
    • RC4 or RC4(128)
    • RC2 or RC2(40)

    You can use ALL keyword to indicate whole set of ciphers. To exclude certain cipher from the set use "-" sign. For instance, value of CipherList property "ALL-RC4" means that any cipher but RC4 can be used.

    You can control performance-security trade-off using this property. To gain better performance you can use RC2 cipher. To achieve maximal traffic security you can use 3DES or AES ciphers.
