Hi,

I've just setup SQL Server 7 multiprotocol encryption on the client
side according to the Microsoft document "How to establish encrypted
multiprotocol connections with SQL Server 7.0"
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239894). It appears to be working, but
how can I be sure? How can I check that all the communication between
the client and the server is really been encrypted?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Use a sniffer such as www.ethereal.com Especially try sniffing with
encryption enabled and disabled to see if there is a difference.

There may also be a way to require encryption only be used on the client or
server, and configure encryption not to happen on the other side, and see if
it fails.

There's no doubt a SQL newsgroup here that might be in a better position to
answer this.
