+Note on Encryption Configuration
+--------------------------------
+There are different *mutually exclusive* ways of configuring TLS/SSL encryption behavior of the driver:
+
+* Use a URI scheme ending in ``+s``. This auto-configures the driver to use TLS and only trust system CAs.
+* Use a URI scheme ending in ``+ssc``. This auto-configures the driver to use TLS and trust any certificate.
+* Use a URI scheme without suffix (i.e. ``neo4j://`` or ``bolt://``) and one of the following mutually exclusive options:
+
+  * set :ref:`encrypted-ref` to ``True`` and optionally configure :ref:`trusted-certificates-ref` and/or
+    :ref:`client-certificate-ref` to enable TLS with custom security settings.
+  * or set :ref:`ssl-context-ref` to gain full control (and responsibility) over the TLS configuration.
+  * or set ``encrypted=False`` (default) to disable TLS.
