 ## Connect by using the MySQL command-line client
 
 If you created your Azure Database for MySQL flexible server by using private access with virtual network integration, connect to your server from a resource that's in the same virtual network as your server. You can create a virtual machine and add it to the virtual network that was created when you created your Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server instance. To learn more, see [Configure private access](how-to-manage-virtual-network-portal.md).
 
 If you created your Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server instance by using public access (allowed IP addresses), you can add your local IP address to the list of firewall rules on your server. For detailed guidance, see [Create or manage firewall rules](how-to-manage-firewall-portal.md).
 
-To connect to the server from your local environment, you can use either [mysql.exe](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql.html) or [MySQL Workbench](./connect-workbench.md). Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server supports connecting your client applications to the Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server service by using Transport Layer Security (TLS), previously known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). TLS is an industry-standard protocol that ensures encrypted network connections between your database server and client applications, so you can adhere to compliance requirements. To connect with your Azure Database for MySQL flexible server, download the [public SSL certificate](https://dl.cacerts.digicert.com/DigiCertGlobalRootCA.crt.pem) for certificate authority verification. To learn more about connecting with encrypted connections or disabling SSL, see [Connect to Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server by using encrypted connections](how-to-connect-tls-ssl.md).

 The following example shows how to connect to your Azure Database for MySQL flexible server by using the MySQL command-line client tool. You can install the tool if it's not already installed. Download the DigiCertGlobalRootCA certificate that's required for SSL connections. Use the `--ssl-mode=REQUIRED` connection string setting to enforce TLS/SSL certificate verification. Pass the local certificate file path to the `--ssl-ca` parameter. Replace values with your actual server name and password.
