Requiring SSL/TLS for specific user accounts to a MySQL DB instance on Amazon RDS
You can require SSL/TLS encryption for specified user account connections to your MySQL DB instances on Amazon RDS. Protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access or interception is crucial to enforce security policies where data confidentiality is a concern.
To require SSL/TLS connections for specific users' accounts, use one of the following
statements, depending on your MySQL version, to require SSL/TLS connections on the user
account encrypted_user.
To do so, use the following statement.
ALTER USER 'encrypted_user'@'%' REQUIRE SSL;
