How are communication encryption settings configured between DSM and the database?

The configuration of communication encryption settings between the Deep Security Manager (DSM) and the database is accomplished by editing the dsm.properties file. This file contains various configuration parameters that govern the behavior of the DSM, including security settings such as encryption for database communications.

Editing the dsm.properties file allows administrators to specify the necessary encryption protocols, keys, and settings required for secure communication between the DSM and the database. This is crucial for protecting sensitive information transmitted during database interactions and ensures the integrity and confidentiality of the data being handled.

Other options do not provide the correct method for configuring these settings. Changing settings in the main application may affect some configurations, but encryption settings specific to the DSM and database communication require direct modification of the dsm.properties file. Using dedicated encryption software generally pertains to encryption practices outside of the configuration directly handled by Deep Security. As for the option suggesting that it is not configurable, encryption settings are indeed configurable through the specified file, confirming the importance of understanding the correct approach.
