Description:
The mysqlx plugin may report that SSL is not configured properly.

If you want to get people to setup TLS/SSL properly then provide a link in the message to the documentation which shows how to do this.

How to repeat:
The output I see for 5.7.12 is:

2016-05-20T16:24:06.308438Z 0 [Warning] Plugin mysqlx reported: 'Failed at SSL configuration: "SSL context is not usable without certificate and private key"'

Suggested fix:
Add to the existing message something as simple as:

"See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/using-secure-connections.html which describes how to configure SSL".

Basically make it easier. Point to a solution which a DBA can follow up on.

Thank you for your feedback, this has been fixed in upcoming versions. We decided against adding the direct HTML link, but added the title of the relevant section to the error message to direct you to the docs.
