How to establish a secure connection string from local to SQL Azure database


Kumar

We are using SQL Azure as database as a service. Our networking team is concerned about opening port 1433 to connect to the SQL Azure database from our on-premises server via Management Studio. They say that if we open port 1433, we will see plain text in network traffic. So how to encrypt network traffic on port 1433.

Azure SQL Database enforces encryption on all client connections.

If you want the client to verify the certificate against its trusted repositories, you should use the certificate to verify the client. This is for client side security and cannot be controlled on the server side.

About SSMS" SQL Server Management Studio also supports certificate validation. In the Connect to Server dialog, click Encrypt Connection on the Connection Properties tab.

See the "Connection encryption and certificate validation" paragraph of https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-security-guidelines/

I hope this answers your question
