MONGOC_CLIENT_POOL_ENABLE_AUTO_ENCRYPTION(3) libmongoc MONGOC_CLIENT_POOL_ENABLE_AUTO_ENCRYPTION(3)

NAME

mongoc_client_pool_enable_auto_encryption - mongoc_client_pool_enable_auto_encryption()

SYNOPSIS

bool
mongoc_client_pool_enable_auto_encryption (mongoc_client_pool_t *pool,

mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_t* opts,
bson_error_t* error);


Enable automatic client side encryption on a mongoc_client_pool_t. Requires libmongoc to be built with support for Client-Side Field Level Encryption. See the guide for Using Client-Side Field Level Encryption.

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.

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

Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error otherwise.
