-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=<path_to_client_keystore> -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=<keystore_password>
Step 4. Add the sslenabled option to the JDBC URL
Add the
sslenabled=true
option to the JDBC URL. For example, jdbc:cassandra://localhost:9042/?sslenabled=true.To ensure that the connection to the data source is successful, click Test Connection.
