[rt-users] Connecting to remote MySQL via SSL

[Nathan Cutler]

I have been tasked with migrating our RT database (MySQL) to a remote
server, connection between RT and the database server must be SSL
encrypted.

I see at [1] that DBD::mysql supports SSL, but the RT documentation
[2] seems to imply that RT only supports SSL with PostgreSQL:

    $DatabaseRequireSSL

    If you're using PostgreSQL and have compiled in SSL support, set
$DatabaseRequireSSL to 1 to turn on SSL communication with the
database.

What is the status of out-of-the-box support for SSL with MySQL in RT 4.2?

Thanks,
Nathan
