SSL Connection to MySQL in Studio and on Server

Hello, can someone please point me to the documentation needed to set up Studio and Server connections to a MySQL server when SSL encryption is required?

Thank you,

Eric

Hi @eric_duell,

Welcome to the RapidMiner Community!

Unfortunately, there are multiple steps necessary to achieve this.

Force MySQL Server to use SSL connections (Some documentation can be found here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-j/5.1/en/connector-j-reference-using-ssl.html.) You also need to get a SSL certificate.
Configure the Database connection details from within RapidMiner accordingly
At "Database scheme" enter: <your_schema_name>?useSSL=true&ssl=required
Configure the Database connection details in the RapidMiner Server Webinterface accordingly
At "Schema" enter: <your_schema_name>?useSSL=true&ssl=required

This should do the trick.

Happy mining,

Edin

By the way:

The following error message in the server.log of RapidMiner Server can most often be ignored. In most installations the database is installed on localhost where the usual MySQL Standard port 3306 is blocked for inbound connections.

ERROR [stderr] (JCA PoolFiller) Tue Mar 20 13:00:19 CET 2018 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.
