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 In-Use Encryption. See In-Use Encryption <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/current/libmongoc/guides/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 <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/listCollections/#dbcmd.listCollections>.
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 <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_error_t.html> which is set on error.
RETURNS¶
Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error otherwise.
