How to Fix SSIS message “The catalog database must be in single-user mode in order to change this property”

In SSIS 2012, after a catalog is created, there are only few properties which can be modified from the GUI as shown below.
Some properties are greyed out.

SSIS2012_Catalog_Properties_1

Please note that Encryption algorithm name is greyed out.

SSIS2012_Catalog_Properties_2

Here are the steps to be followed to modify the property:

    Make the SSISDB to be in single user mode
    Then change the encryption type using TSQL command (using GUI wouldnt work as the database in single user mode and get this message)

SSIS2012_Catalog_Properties_3

    Make the SSISDB to be in multi user mode

[cc lang=”sql”]
— single user
ALTER DATABASE SSISDB set single_user with rollback immediate

— change the property
USE SSISDB
EXEC catalog.configure_catalog @property_name=’Encryption_Algorithm’, @property_value=’TRIPLE_DES_3KEY’;

— multi user
ALTER DATABASE SSISDB SET MULTI_USER
[/cc]

Then verify that the catalog properties got modified for the SSISDB catalog as shown:

SSIS2012_Catalog_Properties_4
