    The changelog says :
    "Plesk now supports secure MySQL connections. The Plesk administrator can now connect to a remote database securely via SSL/TLS and prohibit using a non-secure connection."

  • David Marcus commented  ·   ·  Report

    Does 18.0.52 support secure connections when using remote access or is this just for Plesk to connect to remote databases?

  • Pedi commented  ·   ·  Report

    I can't believe Plesk has no Built-in feature for encrypt remote MySQL-Connections.ufff

  • Robin commented  ·   ·  Report

    5 years and still no TLS for MySQL.
    Hello?

  • Gunter commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, it is very important also in my opinion.

  • Mathias Bank commented  ·   ·  Report

    I cannot understand how it is possible in 2023 to use unsecure connections to the SQL database - especially as in a database you are typically saving personal data. That makes Plesk to be in a severe conflict with the GDPR and thus to be not usable in many use case scenarios.

    So please make this a high priority issue!

    Need it badly. High time essential SSL support is given.

  • Jan Reilink commented  ·   ·  Report

    Non-SSL connections to databases are not done nowadays, c'mon and add some support!

  • Dennis Ng commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hosting with Data-in-transit for Remote DB should be implemented. Please consider the in the new Plesk Feature

  • Rope Access commented  ·   ·  Report

    This should have been implemented a long time ago, it's a fundamental principle of database work..

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I cannot even consider using a database without being able to encrypt the connections. Please consider this as an essential piece of work.

  • Plesk Tech Support commented  ·   ·  Report

    Allow the user to configure Database Servers to connect over SSL, specifying SSL certificate, CA certificate and SSL key. Currently, this has to be done manually via phpMyAdmin config file at /usr/local/psa/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php.

    I'm using a cloud based (AWS) mysql instance, with this becoming more main stream this is essential security and needs urgently addressing.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please do this. It will be a very big security step. Thanks for your work.

  • Hans H. Mobron commented  ·   ·  Report

    should have been implanted long ago and shouldn't even be a question here.

  • Peter commented  ·   ·  Report

    This should really be implemented ASAP. It's a must-have feature in GDPR regulated environments.
