How can I enable SSL support in MySQL?

To enable SSL support in MySQL, you need to configure the server and client with the appropriate SSL certificates.

What certificates do I need to set up?

You will need a server certificate, a server key, and a certificate authority (CA) certificate.

How do I configure the MySQL server to use these certificates?

You can configure the MySQL server by adding the following lines to your my.cnf file:

[mysqld]
ssl-ca=/path/to/ca-cert.pem
ssl-cert=/path/to/server-cert.pem
ssl-key=/path/to/server-key.pem

Then restart the MySQL server.

Is there a way to test if SSL is working?

Yes, you can run the command SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%ssl%'; in MySQL to check if SSL is enabled.
