Originated in 
FileMaker Pro 12.0
Description 
Secure connections are encrypted using SSL. If security is important in your environment, your server administrator needs to install a custom SSL certificate.
Returns:
 •
0 for no network connection for the current file.
 •
1 for a connection that is not encrypted (FileMaker Server with SSL disabled, or to a FileMaker Pro host).
 •
2 for a connection that is encrypted but for which the SSL certificate for FileMaker Server cannot be verified. You may be connected to a server pretending to be your actual destination, which could put your confidential information at risk.
 •
3 for a connection that is encrypted with a verified SSL certificate.
Note
For information on how functions evaluate differently on the host versus the client, search the FileMaker Knowledge Base available at http://help.filemaker.com.
Examples 
Returns 3 when the connection is encrypted with a verified SSL certificate.
