SSL-enabled MySQL access error

I am trying to access MySQL from Looker Studio, and while I can access it without SSL, I cannot access it when SSL is enabled. When I access MySQL with SSL without using Looker Studio, it succeeds, so I have confirmed that the configuration files are correct. How can I enable SSL access in Looker Studio?

I ran into a problem connecting to my AWS Aurora Mysql RDS cluster instance using the default certificates provided by aws (i.e. global.pem or the regional eu-west-1-bundle.pem). After hours of troubleshooting with openssl commands I discovered that it only needed the first certificate listed in my eu-west-1-bundle.pem to work - so I created a new file with just this certificate and it worked.

I think the mysql data connector in Looker Studio doesn't like to find multiple certificates in the pem file. Just my observation - and I may be completely wrong about this.

Fixing SSL-Enabled MySQL Access Error

If you're getting an error while connecting to MySQL using SSL, here are a few things to check:

  1. SSL Setup: Make sure SSL is properly set up on both the MySQL server and the client. Both need the correct certificates and keys.

  2. Compatibility: Ensure that the MySQL version you are using supports SSL, as older versions may not handle SSL connections well.

  3. Configuration: Double-check the SSL settings on your MySQL server and client. Missing or incorrect certificates can cause errors.

  4. Network Issues: Ensure there are no firewall or network settings blocking your SSL connection.

  5. Error Logs: Look at the MySQL server logs to see if there are more specific error messages that can help identify the issue.

By reviewing these areas, you should be able to troubleshoot and fix the SSL connection problem.

Hey,

SSL-enabled MySQL access errors can often be caused by misconfigured SSL certificates or version mismatches. Make sure your client and server certificates are correctly set up and that you're using a compatible MySQL version.
