The following table lists options that are used for specifying the use of SSL, certificate files, and key files. These options are available beginning with MySQL 4.0. They may be given on the command line or in option files.
--ssl
--ssl-ca
, --ssl-cert
, and --ssl-key
options.
Note that this option doesn't require an SSL connection. For example, if the server or client are compiled without SSL support, a normal unencrypted connection will be used.
The secure way to ensure that a SSL connection will be used is
to create an account on the server that includes a
REQUIRE SSL
clause in the GRANT
statement.
Then use this account to connect to the server, with both a server and client
that have SSL support enabled.
You can use this option to indicate that the connection should not use SSL.
Do this by specifying the option as --skip-ssl
or --ssl=0
.
--ssl-ca=file_name
--ssl-capath=directory_name
--ssl-cert=file_name
--ssl-cipher=cipher_list
cipher_list
has the same format as the openssl ciphers
command.
Example: --ssl-cipher=ALL:-AES:-EXP
--ssl-key=file_name
