Installing joomla 4. Database connection encryption parameter, what is it?

Question

MySQL

When installing joomla 4 on the page, database options.
There is a field, connection encryption with a drop-down list.
1) Default (server controlled).
2) One-way authentication.
3) Two-way authentication.

Please explain what it is and how it works.

Answer 1

This is a different degree of protection when accessing the database via SSH (via the OS console on a remote computer). Leave by default. If you need remote access, set it up on the server - there are more options for this. It's just that Joomla is also designed for such situations when there are no settings on the server, which is a huge rarity now.
One-way - upon access, the client proves his authenticity by entering a login password.
Two-way - both client and server prove their identity to each other
