Hello, A new question has been asked in "MariaDB FAQ" by ashishjagtap: -------------------------------- I have created application in Spring,Hibernate and c3p0 which is now connecting to Mysql database. now we are migrating our application to MariaDB (Server version: 5.5.5-10.0.7-MariaDB Source distribution) through SSL. following is the configuration file that we are using to connect to Mysql database JDBC.properties jdbc.initialPoolSize=10 jdbc.maxPoolSize=30 jdbc.minPoolSize=5 jdbc.acquireIncrement=3 jdbc.acquireRetryAttempts=0 jdbc.preferredTestQuery=SELECT 1 jdbc.idleConnectionTestPeriod=600 jdbc.numHelperThreads=10 jdbc.debugUnreturnedConnectionStackTraces=true jdbc.mydbUrl=jdbc:mysql://myhost.com:3306/mydb?verifyServerCertificate=true&useSSL=true&requireSSL=true&characterEncoding=utf8 jdbc.mydbUsername=myuser datasource-context.xml <bean id="mydbCommon" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource" abstract="true" destroy-method="close"> <property name="driverClass" value="${jdbc.rptdbDriverClassName}"/> <!-- Common properties for all DS --> <property name="initialPoolSize" value="${jdbc.initialPoolSize}"/> <property name="maxPoolSize" value="${jdbc.maxPoolSize}"/> <property name="minPoolSize" value="${jdbc.minPoolSize}"/> <property name="acquireIncrement" value="${jdbc.acquireIncrement}"/> <property name="acquireRetryAttempts" value="${jdbc.acquireRetryAttempts}"/> <property name="preferredTestQuery" value="${jdbc.preferredTestQuery}"/> <property name="idleConnectionTestPeriod" value="${jdbc.idleConnectionTestPeriod}"/> <property name="numHelperThreads" value="${jdbc.numHelperThreads}"/> <property name="debugUnreturnedConnectionStackTraces" value="${jdbc.debugUnreturnedConnectionStackTraces}"/> </bean> <bean id="mydb" parent="mydbCommon"> <property name="jdbcUrl" value="${jdbc.mydbUrl}"/> <property name="user" value="${jdbc.mydbUsername}"/> </bean> we are able to connect to DB server through command line using following command mysql -h myhost.com -P3306 -umyuser --ssl-ca ca.crt --ssl-cert app.crt --ssl-key my-key.key now how can I specify --ssl-ca,--ssl-cert and --ssl-cert files while connecting to MariaDB through Hibernate and c3p0. or what is the steps to connect to MariaDB database through SSL using c3p0 and hibernate. -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://mariadb.com/kb/en/connect-spring-hibernate-and-c3p0-application-to-ma...
