# Enable MySL Client Flags?

 * Is it possible to use this plugin when an SSL connection to the database is required?
   I attempted to use HyperDB but I receive access denied errors. I left the define(‘
   MYSQL_CLIENT_FLAGS’, MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL); flag set in the wp-config.php file but
   I still receive the access denied error message. Without HyperDB installed and
   the MYSQL_CLIENT_FLAGS set my site works without issue.

 * Hi,
 * I added support for `MYSQL_CLIENT_FLAGS` to HyperDB. Can you please try the development
   version [here](https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/hyperdb/trunk/db.php) and let
   me know if it works for you?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello,
 * Unfortunately, no. I get a Notice: Undefined variable: client_flags in /public/
   wp-content/db.php on line 1272 error followed by access denied errors and Error
   establishing a database connection errors.
 * Thank you for your help
