Hi,
I need to enable SSL with my own certificate for the connection between client and proxysql.
How can I feed the password of pem files during start-up?

Proxysql startup failed with below error

Hello @preethi_subbu ,
You can’t. Your key needs to not have an encrypted passphrase. I suggest filing a feature request on proxysql’s github for this.
