Behavior
If set to 0 (No Encryption), data is not encrypted.
If set to 1 (SSL), data is encrypted using SSL. If the server supports protocol negotiation, the driver and server negotiate the use of TLS v1, SSL v3, or SSL v2 in that order.
If set to 2 (Database Encryption), data is encrypted using the DB2 encryption protocol (supported only on DB2 for Linux/UNIX/Windows and DB2 for z/OS).
This option can only be set to 1 or 2 when Authentication Method is set to 0, 1, or 2.
