**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 3.3.2  
My PHP version is: 7.3  
My Database type and version is: MySQL Server

**Your problem**  
My problem is: I am using azure database to be used with mautic. Mautic is giving me 500 error when I try to configure it. Looking at the logs, I assume that we need to provide ssl certificate for database connection, but there is no way to do so. Azure databases by default uses ssl connections and I don’t want to disable for security seasons.  
Ref Link: [Configure SSL - Azure Database for MySQL | Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/mysql/howto-configure-ssl#sample-code)

Please let me know how to provide ssl certificate for configuring database.

These errors are showing in the log:  
[2021-04-27 11:15:10] mautic.CRITICAL: Uncaught PHP Exception Doctrine\DBAL\Exception\DriverException: “An exception occurred in driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [9002] SSL connection is required.

We have the same requirements on mautic 4.4.0.  
Is there any solution for this?
