Configuring SSL¶
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an encryption-based Internet security protocol for establishing an encrypted link between a server and a client. It provides authenticated Internet connections to ensure the privacy and integrity of online communications. SSL:
Authenticates users and servers, ensuring that data is sent to the correct clients and servers.
Encrypts data, preventing it from being intercepted during transmission.
Ensures data integrity during transmission.
Clients using versions earlier than 5.1 have SSL compatibility issues. By default, SSL is disabled for new RDS for MySQL instances. If your client has no SSL compatibility issues, you can enable SSL. Enabling SSL will increase the network connection response time and CPU resource consumption. Before configuring it, evaluate any potential impacts on service performance.
Function¶
This API is used to configure SSL to encrypt connections.
Before calling an API, you need to understand the API in Authentication.
Before calling this API, obtain the required region and endpoint.
Constraints¶
SSL cannot be configured when a DB instance is being created, rebooted, or upgraded, its specifications are being modified, or database users are being created or deleted.
This API is supported for MySQL only.
