Upload Certificate Settings

By default, Platform connectors will not perform any verification of the server certificate. It means that someone can pretend to be the server without the client’s awareness. To prevent this kind of impersonation, the client needs to be able to verify the server's identity through a trusted chain of verification.

Pre-requisites: For SSL support to work, the user must have the following:

1. A MySQL/ ClickHouse /PostgreSQL server that supports SSL (as currently the SSL implementation has been provided for these data connectors).

2. A signed client certificate.
