 5.9.7.3 Using SSL Connections with yaSSL
 ........................................
 
 Using MySQL's built-in yaSSL support makes it easier to use secure
 connections. You don't have to install OpenSSL and perform the other
 steps described in  secure-using-openssl. Also, both MySQL and
 yaSSL employ the same licensing model.
 
 Currently, yaSSL support is available for these platforms:
 
    * Linux/x86-64 Red Hat Enterprise 3.0
 
    * Linux RHAS21 Itanium-2 with gcc, statically linked
 
    * Linux Itanium-2 with gcc
 
    * Windows (all builds)
 
 To enable yaSSL when building MySQL from source, you should configure
 MySQL like this:
 
      shell> ./configure --with-yassl
 
 Note that yaSSL support on Unix platforms requires that either
 `/dev/urandom' or `/dev/random' be installed to retrieve true random
 numbers. For additional information (especially regarding yaSSL on
 Solaris versions prior to 2.8 and HP-UX), see Bug #13164
 (http://bugs.mysql.com/13164).
 
 To start the MySQL server with yaSSL support, use the same options as
 with OpenSSL support and identify the certificates needed to establish
 a secure connection:
 
      shell> mysqld --ssl-ca=CACERT.PEM \
             --ssl-cert=SERVER-CERT.PEM \
             --ssl-key=SERVER-KEY.PEM
 
    * -ssl-ca identifies the Certificate Authority certificate.
 
    * -ssl-cert identifies the server certificate.
 
    * -ssl-key identifies the client certificate.
 
 To establish a secure connection to a MySQL server with yaSSL support,
 start a client like this:
 
      shell> mysql --ssl-ca=CACERT.PEM \
             --ssl-cert=SERVER-CERT.PEM \
             --ssl-key=SERVER-KEY.PEM
 
 In other words, the options are the same as for the server, and the
 Certificate Authority certificate has to be the same.
 
 To establish a secure connection from an application program, use the
 `mysql_ssl_set()' API function to set the appropriate certificate
 options, before calling `mysql_real_connect()'. See 
 mysql-ssl-set.
