Enabling SSL connection for the database (not the app itself)

[rastographics]

With Microsoft Azure recently releasing proper Linux and native Mysql hosting, it is becoming very easy to get processwire hosted on that platform.

By default, they force SSL connection to the managed Mysql server. This causes processwire to fail when trying to connect.

I can turn off SSL for my MySql server, but I wish there was a $config setting like $config->useSSL = true that would allow processwire to include the appropriate property in the connection string (like ssl=true or whatever).

Here is the Azure link that explains what I would like to do: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/mysql/concepts-ssl-connection-security

Am I missing this config setting somewhere? Or would it be easy to add? Thanks.

I dont know if this is exactly what you are after, but here is a discussion regarding SSL. I have not done it myself, but it appears you can uncomment something in your .htaccess file .
