Hi,

As far as I amware you must have the OpenSSL library installed on the 
server and then compile MySQL from source with the configure options

	--with-vio --with-openssl

You can then set up client certificates etc.

See http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Secure_requirements.html for more 
info.


If you just want a secure connection ( i.e. the data is encrytped 
whilst in transit) you could use stunnel ( www.stunnel.org ) to 
create a secure tunnel.

Ian
