Configuring Servers

The first step is to define the servers that make up the cluster. These servers will be used by the services and are monitored by the monitor.

[dbserv1]
type=server
address=192.168.2.1
port=3306

[dbserv2]
type=server
address=192.168.2.2
port=3306

[dbserv3]
type=server
address=192.168.2.3
port=3306

The address and port parameters tell where the server is located.

Enabling TLS

To enable encryption for the MaxScale-to-MariaDB communication, add ssl=true to the server section. To enable server certificate verification, addssl_verify_peer_certificate=true.

The ssl and ssl_verify_peer_certificate parameters are similar to the--ssl and --ssl-verify-server-cert options of the mysql command line client.

For more information about TLS, refer to the Configuration Guide.
