1 - NTLM

2 - KERBEROS

3 - NEGOTIATE

4 - CERTIFICATE

5 - NTLM, CERTIFICATE

6 - KERBEROS, CERTIFICATE

7 - NEGOTIATE, CERTIFICATE

8 - CERTIFICATE, NTLM

9 - CERTIFICATE, KERBEROS

10 - CERTIFICATE, NEGOTIATE

certificate_id

int

ID of certificate used for authentication, if any.

0 = Windows Authentication is being used.

encryption_algorithm

tinyint

Encryption algorithm, one of:

0 – NONE

1 – RC4

2 – AES

3 – NONE, RC4

4 – NONE, AES

5 – RC4, AES

6 – AES, RC4

7 – NONE, RC4, AES

8 – NONE, AES, RC4

encryption_algorithm_desc

nvarchar(60)

Description of the encryption algorithm, one of:

NONE

RC4

AES

NONE, RC4

NONE, AES

RC4, AES

AES, RC4

NONE, RC4, AES

NONE, AES, RC4

Remarks

Note

The RC4 algorithm is only supported for backward compatibility. New material can only be encrypted using RC4 or RC4_128 when the database is in compatibility level 90 or 100. (Not recommended.) Use a newer algorithm such as one of the AES algorithms instead. In SQL Server 2012 material encrypted using RC4 or RC4_128 can be decrypted in any compatibility level.

Permissions

The visibility of the metadata in catalog views is limited to securables that a user either owns or on which the user has been granted some permission. For more information, see Metadata Visibility Configuration.
