AutoEncryptionSettings (original) (raw)

public final class AutoEncryptionSettings
extends Object
The client-side automatic encryption settings. Client side encryption enables an application to specify what fields in a collection must be encrypted, and the driver automatically encrypts commands sent to MongoDB and decrypts responses.
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 will result in error. To bypass automatic encryption, set bypassAutoEncryption=true in AutoEncryptionSettings.
Explicit encryption/decryption and automatic decryption is a community feature, enabled with the newcom.mongodb.client.vault.ClientEncryption type.
A MongoClient configured with bypassAutoEncryption=true will still automatically decrypt.
If automatic encryption fails on an operation, use a MongoClient configured with bypassAutoEncryption=true and use ClientEncryption#encrypt to manually encrypt values.
Enabling client side encryption reduces the maximum document and message size (using a maxBsonObjectSize of 2MiB and maxMessageSizeBytes of 6MB) and may have a negative performance impact.
Automatic encryption requires the authenticated user to have the listCollections privilege action.
