I am setting up Opencart 3 on Digital Ocean using Managed Database. It requires the opencart to database connection be over SSL and they provide
a certificate to be used.
I searched the forums/docs, but could not find information about configuring to use SSL connection to database in opencart. Any possible links?

Note, I am not talking about making the website SSL. I am talking about making the connection to the database over SSL.

Something like that seems to exist, but only for a 1.5.6.x Version, but it might be
of some help, if one plans, to use it in a later Version:
Mysqli w/ SSL Certs
MySQLi with SSL support. This will allow for secure database communication via SSL.
This is the best way to add a layer of protection to your cart. Please follow the steps
exactly for this to work. There is a README included in the zip and the steps can also
be found in documentation section.

only useful if your database is on a different server.
