SSL effects on SQL databases -- sql server connect

SQL Server is not accessed through the SSL port. It is not affected by SSL
certificates. I have them on some of my systems and this does not affect how
I connect or access the databases. You can encrypt the traffic by request
via ConnectionString settings but again this is not affected by SSL.

Okay, this is probably a stupid question, but so be it.

I've had a cert on a SQL server containing only one database.

I'm now considering putting a cert on our main db server. But I can't
find any info as to whether I should be concerned about how all the
individual database applications will react to the cert.

I know that ODBC handles the connection, but will an application balk at
any communication when a cert gets enabled?

Thanks,
