So I am looking to "harden" a server install. On one of my test instances, I have set FORCE ENCRYPTION under the protocols for that instance to YES. I then attempt to connect via Management Studio to that instance. I can connect, even without telling SSMS to encrypt the connection.

Since I have told the server to force encryption, I would have thought I would not be able to connect unless I tell SSMS to encrypt the connection. That does not appear to be the case. Is something wrong?
