Check the Encrypt protocol box. The system enables the Set Key button. If you want to use the default encryption key, you are done. If you want to specify a custom encryption key, continue with the next step.You must restart SQL Boost after setting a custom encryption key for the key to become active.
Click Set Key. The Set Encryption Key dialog box appears as shown in the following image.
- Type a custom encryption key in the available field, and then click Set. SQL Boost displays a confirmation message to remind you that you must restart the program before you can being using the key.
- Click OK to close the message.
To delete a custom key, simply open the Set Encryption Key dialog box, and then click Delete Key. SQL Boost displays a confirmation message to inform you that the key is deleted. Click OK to close the message.
