 * We run WordPress on Azure App Service with a Azure Database for MySQL flexible
   server. When I install the plugin, I only get the following error message and
   a constant login loop – no connection is possible:
 * “Connections using insecure transport are prohibited while –require_secure_transport
   =ON”
 * The MySQL Database requires a secure connection and it is also a company policy
   to only use secure connections.
 * For testing I disabled “require_secure_transport” on the flexible MySQL server
   and then access to the database is working.

 * Hello and thank you for your report!
 * It seems that this is a problem of official Adminer software (and then the forked
   AdminerEVO Software)…
 * Because this plugin is only an integration of Adminer to WordPress, I cannot 
   offer support for official Adminer software…
 * So you need to open a ticket in AdminerEVO (because Adminer before fork seem 
   to be abandoned) in the GitHub repo of AdminerEVO: [https://github.com/adminerevo/adminerevo/issues](https://github.com/adminerevo/adminerevo/issues)
 * Thank you for using WP Adminer, and I am here to help you If I can with the integration
   based features!

 * Hello, thanks for your help – I got a reply on github: [WordPress on Azure App Service – Connections using insecure transport are prohibited while –require_secure_transport=ON · Issue #232 · adminerevo/adminerevo](https://github.com/adminerevo/adminerevo/issues/232#issuecomment-2609352320)
 * Is this something you could include in your plugin? I mean that the needed plugins
   from AdminerEVO are included and that it is possible to activate/deactivate SSL
   via a config page? That would be great!

 * Hello,
 * this is not a change that I will do in my plugin globally, but you can do it 
   at your end!
 * So, in order to do the integration with my plugin, you need to add a **must-use
   plugin** in your WP site with these contents:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       if (!function_exists('adminer_object')) {	function adminer_object()	{		include_once PEXLECHRIS_ADMINER_DIR . '/inc/class-pexlechris-adminer.php';		class My_Custom_Adminer_Class extends Pexlechris_Adminer		{			function connectSsl()			{				return [					'key'	=> 'filename', // you maybe change or delete this row					'cert'	=> 'filename',  // you maybe change or delete this row					'ca'	=> '/var/www/html/DigiCertGlobalRootCA.crt.pem', // Certificate can be downloaded here: https://dl.cacerts.digicert.com/DigiCertGlobalRootCA.crt.pem				];			}		}		return new My_Custom_Adminer_Class();	}}
       ```
   
 * Finally, learn what is a must-use plugin and how to install it in this article(
   method 3) here: [https://www.pexlechris.dev/how-to-add-php-hooks-in-your-wordpress-site/](https://www.pexlechris.dev/how-to-add-php-hooks-in-your-wordpress-site/)
