Warning about SSL connection when connecting to MySQL database
If you are getting a warning about an SSL connection when connecting to a MySQL database, it may be because you are using an older version of the MySQL client library that does not support SSL connections by default.
To fix this warning, you have a few options:
Upgrade to a newer version of the MySQL client library that supports SSL connections by default.
Use the
--ssl-mode=REQUIREDoption when connecting to the database to force the use of an SSL connection.Set the
useSSLproperty in the connection URL totruewhen connecting to the database. For example:jdbc:mysql://hostname:port/database?useSSL=trueSet the
verifyServerCertificateproperty in the connection URL tofalseto disable server certificate validation. For example:jdbc:mysql://hostname:port/database?useSSL=true&verifyServerCertificate=false
Note that disabling server certificate validation may not be a good idea in production environments, as it can compromise the security of the connection.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
