MySQL 8 SSL

MySQL 8 SSL

Issue

Admin is making a database connection to a MySQL 8 database.  When clicking the Ping button on the DB Connection object, the following error is presented:

WARN: Establishing SSL connection without server's identity verification is not recommended. According to MySQL 5.5.45+, 5.6.26+ and 5.7.6+ requirements SSL connection must be established by default if explicit option isn't set. For compliance with existing applications not using SSL the verifyServerCertificate property is set to 'false'. You need either to explicitly disable SSL by setting useSSL=false, or set useSSL=true and provide truststore for server certificate verification.


Solution

If you are unable to add a SSL Certificate to the SQL server/database, can setup the DB Connection object in UW as a Customized DB type for the connection, adding ?useSSL=false to the end of the Connection String.
