NDB
system tables, but
NDB\-specific indexes, internal triggers, and NDB Cluster Disk Data objects as well\&.

Options that can be used with

Specify a list of directories to search for a CA file\&.

A directory reference may be relative or absolute; it may contain one or more environment variables, each denoted by a prefixed dollar sign ($), and expanded prior to use\&.
.sp
Searching begins with the leftmost named directory and proceeds from left to right until a file is found\&. An empty string denotes an empty search path, which causes all searches to fail\&. A string consisting of a single dot (\&.) indicates that the search path limited to the current working directory\&.
.sp
If no search path is supplied, the compiled\-in default value is used\&. This value depends on the platform used: On Windows, this is
\endb\-tls; on other platforms (including Linux), it is
$HOME/ndb\-tls\&. This can be overridden by compiling NDB Cluster using
