Hey all,
I need to setup replication via SSL. 2 nodes master/master for H/A. Then 2
slave nodes for backup. Node 3 will slave off of node 1, and node 4 will
slave off of node 2 for redundant backups. Nodes 3 & 4 will store backups
to a directory mapped to S3 via S3FS. All nodes are physical.
We're using mariadb-5.5.41 server on CentOS 7 hosts.
It's a neat plan!
However I am unable to get authentication to work with ssl required of the
user.
We already have a CA certificate and key established in the environment.
And we used those to generate the cert and key to be used with mariadb.
This is the process we used to generate the cert/key:
openssl genrsa -des3 -out db1.example.com.key 4096
openssl req -new -key db1.example.com.key -out db1.example.com.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in db1.example.com.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey
ca.key -set_serial 01 -out db1.example.com.crt
Using those keys I put together this my.cnf file. Haven't gotten around to
configuring replication yet, as I have yet to get ssl logins to work.
[root@db1:~] #cat /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security
risks
symbolic-links=0
# Settings user and group are ignored when systemd is used.
# If you need to run mysqld under a different user or group,
# customize your systemd unit file for mariadb according to the
# instructions in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd
ssl
ssl-ca=/opt/mysql/ca.crt
ssl-cert=/opt/mysql/db1.example.com.crt
ssl-key=/opt/mysql/db1.example.com.key
[mysqld_safe]
general_log_file=/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log
general_log=1
log-error=/var/log/mariadb/mariadb_error.log
pid-file=/var/run/mariadb/mariadb.pid
log_slow_queries=/var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
long_query_time=2
log-queries-not-using-indexes
#
# include all files from the config directory
#
!includedir /etc/my.cnf.d
Made sure mariadb could read the cert files:
[root@db1:~] #ls -ld /opt/mysql/ /opt/mysql/*
drwx------. 2 mysql mysql 86 Jul 20 06:20 /opt/mysql/
-r--------. 1 mysql mysql 2212 Jul 20 05:14 /opt/mysql/ca.crt
-r--------. 1 mysql mysql 1956 Jul 20 05:17
/opt/mysql/db1.example.com.crt
-r--------. 1 mysql mysql 3247 Jul 20 05:15
/opt/mysql/db1.example.com.key
And restarted mariadb. And if I take a look at my SSL variables in my mysql
command line, everything is looking good.
MariaDB [mysql]> show variables like '%ssl%';
+---------------+---------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+---------------------------------+
| have_openssl | YES |
| have_ssl | YES |
| ssl_ca | /opt/mysql/ca.crt |

| ssl_cipher | |

If I create one replication user without SSL required, he is able to log in
from node 2 to node 1 no problem:
MariaDB [mysql]> grant replication slave on *.* to 'slave1'@'
db2.example.com' identified by 'secret';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
[root@db2:~] #mysql -uslave1 -p -h db1.example.com
Enter password:

If I show grants on this user I can confirm that SSL is not required

If I create the second slave user with the SSL requirement, and even flush
privileges, I can not log into node 1 from node 2
MariaDB [mysql]> grant replication slave on *.* to 'slave2'@'
db2.example.com' identified by 'test' require ssl;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
MariaDB [mysql]> flush privileges;

[root@db2:~] #mysql -uslave2 -p -h db1.example.com
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'slave2'@'db2.example.com'
(using password: YES)
And if I look at the grants for this user I able to tell that ssl is
required for him to be able to login:
MariaDB [mysql]> show grants for 'slave2'@'db2.example.com;
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for sla...@db2.example.com

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

If I take a look at the error log:

I see absolutely NO indication as to why the login for the 'slave2' user
(that requires SSL) is failing.
So my questions are 1) how to I bump up the verbosity on the logs so I can
get an indication as to why this is failing? 2) what is the best way to
troubleshoot this?
OK so question 2 may seem a little redundant to question 1. But I am truly
stumped.
Any help would be appreciated.
