SSL config help

[Bob Shumsky]

Hi,
I am distributing an application that uses a MySql connection to retrieve data from my server. I would like to use SSL but I can't make heads or tails of the documentation in the manual. Specifically, do I need to get three different CA files and save them somewhere, as this seems to be saying in the documentation:

--ssl-ca=cacert.pem \
--ssl-cert=server-cert.pem \
--ssl-key=server-key.pem

also, can I put these options in the my.ini to have them take affect?

Thanks,
Bob
