            Added in ((tiki12))

For some system, e.g. cloud based systems such as ((WIndows Azure)), it is recommended to use an SSL connection to the MySQL database.

To enable a MySQL SSL connection, 3 keys must be specified, in PEM format
* Client key. Filename must end with -key.pem
* Client cert. Filename must end with -cert.pem
* CA cert. Filename must end with -ca.pem
These files are placed in the ''tikiroot''/__db/cert__ folder. Tiki will detect these files and initiate an SSL connection. 
The db/cert folder could look something like this (Azure Clear DB sample)

{img fileId="847"}

The MySQL SSL status can be checked in the Admin / Security panel

{img fileId="848"}

If any one of the key files are missing, a regular non-SSL connection is used.
