Encrypting Swap Files

To keep all data as secure as possible, the Simba Salesforce Marketing Cloud ODBC Driver allows you to encrypt the swap file content.

Important:
  • Editing the Windows Registry incorrectly can potentially cause serious, system-wide problems that may require re-installing Windows to correct.
  • Enabling swap file encryption can significantly decrease performance. Only enable swap file encryption in situations where it is required.
  • Be aware that these settings apply to every connection that uses the Simba Salesforce Marketing Cloud ODBC Driver.

To enable swap file encryption:

  1. Using Regedit, navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Simba\Simba SalesforceMarketingCloud ODBC Driver\Driver registry key.
  2. Set the EncryptSwapFile value to 1.
  3. Save the changes to the registry file.
