    Description

      OpenSSL allows applications to load OpenSSL configuration files:

      https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/OPENSSL_config.html

      https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/CONF_modules_load_file.html

      https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man5/config.html

      https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/security_guide/sec-using_openssl#sec-Configuring_OpenSSL

      There could be some benefits to changing MariaDB server, so that it supports the ability to load an OpenSSL configuration file.

      For example, since MDEV-14101 is not implemented, the server can't currently be restricted to a specific TLS protocol version. An OpenSSL configuration file would allow users a way to work around that.

      It also allows users the ability to configure algorithms used by OpenSSL.
