I'm trying to get "data in transit" via SSL between Drupal 7 to RDS Mysql. I've confirmed the following:

* SSL is configured by default in all Mysql RDS instances.
* The Mysql instance I have brought up can be connected to using Mysql client using the following command:

mysql --ssl-ca=/path/to/ssl-cert --user=USERID --host=HOSTNAME -p

I've also added a Require SSL directive for this user I am trying to connect as:

GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'USERNAME'@'%' REQUIRE SSL
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'USERNAME'localhost'%' REQUIRE SSL

I've confirmed (using the above command) that this user can login if the --ssl-ca argument is passed, but cannot login without it.

I then started digging in to determine how to configure Drupal 7 to have it connect to Mysql using SSL. I found this post

This post implies quite strongly that this support should now be configurable. I've confirmed that the version of Drupal I'm using does have this patch applied. What I cannot seem to find or figure out is exactly how I turn SSL support on for the connection. I've tried the following configurations for my databases array:

$databases = array (
'default' =>
array (
'default' =>
array (
'database' => 'DBNAME',
'username' => 'USERNAME',
'password' => 'PASSWORD',

Hi I wanna install Drupal 7 but need to use IIS 6 and also need to use MS SQL DB, just wanted to see if anyone has done this or check if there are any known issues?

Also will the module "Drupal 7 driver for SQL Server" (http://drupal.org/project/sqlsrv) work with IIS 6?

Thanx.
