## Authenticate database connections

To connect to a database with certificate-based authentication, you must provide a client certificate, signed by the trusted CA `mtls_trusted_ca`, and a private key.
To connect to a database with certificate-based authentication, you must provide a client certificate, signed by a trusted CA, and a private key. The client certificate must either be one you previously added to the database to [enable mutual TLS]({{<relref "/operate/rs/7.22/security/encryption/tls/enable-tls#enable-mutual-tls">}}) (`authentication_ssl_client_certs` in the REST API), or be signed by one of these certificates.
