# How to resolve Sprinto check to enable SSL connection enforcement for standard MySQL Database server

### About:

Sprinto check: Ensure 'Enforce SSL connection' is set to 'Enabled' for Standard MySQL Database Server

The above-mentioned Sprinto check verifies that the "Enforce SSL connection" setting is enabled for your Azure Database for MySQL servers. This setting ensures that all connections to the MySQL server are encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

### Purpose:

The purpose of this check is to enforce secure communication between client applications and your Azure Database for MySQL server. By enabling the "Enforce SSL connection" setting, you can protect sensitive data from being intercepted or tampered with during transmission. This measure helps maintain data privacy and integrity, ensuring that only authorized clients can establish secure connections to your MySQL database.

### How to fix this check:

Follow the below steps to resolve this check:

#### Before you begin

* Ensure you have the administrator privilege to manage Azure Database for MySQL server configuration.

#### Enabling SSL Enforcement

1. Log in to the [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/#view/HubsExtension/BrowseResource/resourceType/Microsoft.DBforMySQL%2Fservers) using your credentials.
2. Navigate to the MySQL Database server service.
3. Select the MySQL server from the list to configure.
4. Click Connection Security under Settings from the left-side navigation bar.
5. Look for SSL settings, and ensure it is enabled. If the SSL is disabled, enable it.
6. Click Save to apply the changes.
7. Repeat the above steps for all MySQL Database servers that store critical organizational data.

Sprinto will detect the configuration change and set the check status to "Passing."
