title: How to connect Django to a MySQL database over an SSL connection?
body: <p>I'm trying to connect Django to a MySQL database which is accessible through an SSL connection. How do I configure this?</p>
  <p>My first guess would be setting the 'OPTIONS' property of the database definition. However, I can't find info on what possible options to use. The option <code>'ssl': '/map/to/ca-cert.pem'</code> does not work.</p>
  <p>The following command seems to work:</p>
  <pre><code>mysql -h url.to.host -u lizard -p --ssl-ca=./ca-cert.pem
  </code></pre>
  <p>Edit: Ok I'm looking at the python-mysqldb documentation... maybe I can find the answer there.</p>
