Given the recent fixes to the TLS configuration, the process of enabling TLS is rather simple.

# 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
 | 
						|
protocol=MariaDBBackend
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[dbserv2]
 | 
						|
type=server
 | 
						|
address=192.168.2.2
 | 
						|
port=3306
 | 
						|
protocol=MariaDBBackend
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[dbserv3]
 | 
						|
type=server
 | 
						|
address=192.168.2.3
 | 
						|
port=3306
 | 
						|
protocol=MariaDBBackend
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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).
