Hello, I have setup a MySQL 5.1 server on Ubuntu Linux 10.4 and created an SSL certificate and key. I updated the MySQL configuration to point to the SSL files. There's no error message at startup in MySQL's error log. (Before I granted the process access to the SSL files through AppArmor, there was an error message that it couldn't get the SSL files, so I assume MySQL really reads the file now.)
In MySQL Workbench 5.2.25 I enabled the use of SSL for the connection, but the statement "show variables like '%ssl%'" doesn't show a value for ssl_cipher. Here's the entire output: have_openssl YES have_ssl YES ssl_ca ssl_capath ssl_cert /etc/ssl/private/cert-xxxx.de ssl_cipher ssl_key /etc/ssl/private/cert-xxxx.de >From the wording in the client, I believe that the SSL option is pretty much useless. It reads that it will use SSL if it's available [in the client library]. It probably wouldn't use it too if the server didn't support it. So in the end, it may or may not use SSL to its own liking. Where's the switch where I can force the use of SSL? I don't want to send my authentication data in plain text over the network before I can even verify that SSL is in use? And still why doesn't it use SSL in my case? -- Yves Goergen "LonelyPixel" <nospam.l...@unclassified.de> Visit my web laboratory at http://beta.unclassified.de -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
