 The `address` and `port` parameters tell where the server is located. The
 `protocol` should always be set to `MariaDBBackend`.
+
+## Enabling TLS
+
+To enable encryption for the MaxScale-to-MariaDB communication, add `ssl=true`
+to the server section. To enable server certificate verification, add
+`ssl_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](../Getting-Started/Configuration-Guide.md).
