MaxDB does support SSL via the 'SAP Cryptographic Library (libsapcrypto.so/sl, sapcrypto.dll)'. How to setup this SSL communication should be described in the Installation/Upgrade Guide for your database version (e.g. for 7.6 its in chapter 5.3, Secure Sockets Layer Protocol for Database Server Communication).
MaxDB does not support open SSL, so this approach only works for MaxDB running in an SAP environment.
