BusinessObjects Board

Can Business Objects read an encrypted SQL database?

Our ERP database is MS SQL and we use Business Objects to report from it. We want to encrypt the database at rest. Our ERP supports this and can encrypt/decrypt on the fly. Business Objects is reading the database through ODBC, of course. My ERP documentation says this is the protocol:

“Colleague Data Defense utilizes SQL Server Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), together with the management tools within SA Valet, to encrypt, decrypt, and re-encrypt databases and manage keys.”

Could Business Objects be configured to use TDE for reporting?

Thanks in advance,
