The default value for the encropts configuration parameter on a
non-encrypted database is set to NULL. The value for the encropts configuration
parameter on an encrypted database will match the database encryption options specified during the
CREATE DATABASE command. If no encryption options were specified during the
CREATE DATABASE command, the default value for the encropts parameter is
"CIPHER=AES:MODE=CBC:KEY LENGTH=256". Any non-NULL settings are ignored if
automatic backup encryption is not enabled (if encrlib has a NULL setting).
The format of the encropts string is described under the COMPROPTS|ENCROPTS keyword of the BACKUP DATABASE command.
Only a user with SECADM authorization can change the setting of the encropts configuration parameter.
