mysql_ssl_set(3)

Synopsis


#include <mysql.h>
my_bool mysql_ssl_set(MYSQL *mysql,
                      const char *key,
                      const char *cert,
                      const char *ca,
                      const char *capath,
                      const char *cipher)

Used for establishing a secure TLS connection. It must be called before attempting to use mysql_real_connect(3). TLS support must be enabled in the client library in order for the function to have any effect.

NULL can be used for an unused parameter. Always returns zero.

Parameter

•: mysql - a mysql handle, which was previously allocated by mysql_init(3).
•: key - path to the key file.
•: cert - path to the certificate file.
•: ca - path to the certificate authority file.
•: capath - path to the directory containing the trusted TLS CA certificates in PEM format.
•: cipher list of permitted (SSLv3, TLSv1.0 or TLSv1.2) cipher suites to use for TLS encryption.

Notes

•: mysql_real_connect(3) will return an error if attempting to connect and TLS is incorrectly set up.
•: Even if Connector/C supports TLSv1.3 protocol, it is not possible yet to specify TLSv1.3 cipher suites via cipher parameter.
