Encryption at Rest - Establishing a Connection

Wappler General Need Help
1

Database: MariaDB
Production Server: Linux
Development Server: Docker

On the Development Server, I have created a website that is connected to an unencrypted MariaDB. Everything works fantastic.

On the Production Server, I have published the Development website. I also published the MariaDB. The Production Server is Encrypted at Rest as well as the logs. It works so well, that my Wappler published pages won’t connect to the database.

@George or @Teodor do you or anyone know how I need to modify the db Connector to allow me to access the encrypted database/tables?

Normally you don’t have to do anything special. When a Database Server is Encrypted at Rest it stores the data encrypted. The data gets decrypted by the Server when you get the data with a user that is allowed to access that data. On the client-side you don’t need to change anything, just make sure you connect with the correct credentials.
