MONGOC_CLIENT_ENABLE_AUTO_ENCRYPTION(3) libmongoc MONGOC_CLIENT_ENABLE_AUTO_ENCRYPTION(3)

SYNOPSIS

bool
mongoc_client_enable_auto_encryption (mongoc_client_t *client,

mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_t* opts,
bson_error_t* error);


Enable automatic In-Use Encryption on a mongoc_client_t. Requires libmongoc to be built with support for In-Use Encryption. See In-Use Encryption for instructions to enable In-Use Encryption in libmongoc.

Automatic encryption is an enterprise only feature that only applies to operations on a collection. Automatic encryption is not supported for operations on a database or view, and operations that are not bypassed will result in error. To bypass automatic encryption for all operations, bypass automatic encryption with mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_set_bypass_auto_encryption() in opts.

Automatic encryption requires the authenticated user to have the listCollections privilege action.

Enabling automatic encryption reduces the maximum message size and may have a negative performance impact.

Only applies to a single-threaded mongoc_client_t. To use with client pools, see mongoc_client_pool_enable_auto_encryption().

PARAMETERS

  • client: A mongoc_client_t.
  • opts: A required mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_t.
  • error: A bson_error_t which is set on error.

RETURNS

True on success. False on error. On error, error is set.
