Enable-NCEncryption

This NCache cmdlet enables encryption on a specified cache. Enabling encryption ensures that all cached data is stored in an encrypted form (data-at-rest protection). Data is encrypted at the client-side before being sent to the server, and decrypted when retrieved, ensuring that data remains protected during both transit and storage. This enhances the overall security of sensitive information handled by the cache.

• Windows PowerShell
• Linux CLI

Enable-NCEncryption -Key -Provider [-Server] [-Port] [-CacheName] [-Credentials]

Examples of Enable-NCEncryption

• This command enables the encryption on the cache server 20.200.20.11 for the demoCache.

Enable-NCEncryption -CacheName demoCache -Server 20.200.20.11 -Key txujoegdxzwiophd -Provider TripleDES128

• This command enables the encryption on the cache server 20.200.20.11 for the demoCache, using credentials for authentication.

Enable-NCEncryption -CacheName demoCache -Server 20.200.20.11 -Key txujoegdxzwiophd -Provider TripleDES128 -Credentials(Get-Credential john_smith)

-Provider*	<String>	Specifies the encryption algorithm or provider to be used for encrypting the data.	-
-Server	<String>	Specifies the IP address of the server where the target cache is hosted. Multiple server IPs can be provided as a comma-separated list.	-
-Credentials	<pscredential>	Specifies the user credentials required to authenticate and authorize access when setting encryption on a remote cache server.	-
-Port	<Long>	Specifies the port on which the NCache Service is listening.	8250
-CacheName*	<String>	Specifies the name of the cache where encryption should be configured.	-
