int mysql_ssl_set(MYSQL *mysql, const char *key,
const char *cert, const char *ca, const char *capath, const
char *cipher)
Description
mysql_ssl_set() is used for establishing
secure connections using SSL. It must be called before
mysql_real_connect().
mysql_ssl_set() does nothing unless OpenSSL
support is enabled in the client library.
mysql is the connection handler returned
from mysql_init(). The other parameters are
specified as follows:
key is the pathname to the key file.
cert is the pathname to the certificate
file.
ca is the pathname to the certificate
authority file.
capath is the pathname to a directory
that contains trusted SSL CA certificates in pem format.
cipher is a list of allowable ciphers
to use for SSL encryption.
Any unused SSL parameters may be given as
NULL.
Return Values
This function always returns 0. If SSL
setup is incorrect, mysql_real_connect()
returns an error when you attempt to connect.
