Hi,
I have split my IPS Web App and Database server and they are hosted separately (Azure Web Apps hosting IPS app and Azure Database for MySQL). Given that data can be captured over the wire in clear text leading to secure vulnerabilities (note blocking port 3306 will not prevent someone sniffing traffic and seeing the data in clear text). The services are hosted in the same datacentre however this will not hide/fix the issue. Only hosting the web app and DB on the same server would prevent this issue.
Can you please enable an option in conf_global.php to enable IPS to initiate a secure connection to the database. Not sure what function is in use however if using the PHP MySQL_connect function, the last parameter is client_flags needs to be set to MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL.
However this gets implemented, I think its a critical setting required for a modern micro services design.
Thanks
Jonathon
