Hi,

I am using the Java wrappers with version 4.2 (fully patched).

I am trying to get AES encryption to work but when I inspect my
databases with a hex editor I can see all my data is unencrypted.

I open my DbEnv as follows:
int envFlags = Db.DB_INIT_TXN | Db.DB_INIT_LOG | Db.DB_CREATE |
Db.DB_INIT_LOCK |
Db.DB_INIT_MPOOL | Db.DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE;
env = new DbEnv(0);
env.setEncrypted("password", Db.DB_ENCRYPT_AES);
env.open(homeDir, envFlags, 0);

And I open my Db with the following flags:
Db.DB_CREATE | Db.DB_AUTO_COMMIT | Db.DB_ENCRYPT

BDb seems to think my environment is encrypted:
But I can see all the data in my databases is not encrypted.

Can anyone suggest some flags to check to make sure I am setting
everything correctly?

thanks,

Hi,

You'll need to call Db.setFlags(Db.DB_ENCRYPT) on each database to be
encrypted, in addition to configuring the environment for encryption.

Michael.

Also, the DB_ENCRYPT flag can't be passed to Db.open (the value happens
to match another flag that is valid, which is why you aren't seeing an
error message).

Michael.

Calling Db.setFlags makes everything work as expected.

thanks for bdb,
