MySQL ERROR 2026 - SSL connection error - Ubuntu 20.04

I've recently upgraded my local machine OS from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04, I'm running my MySQL-server on CentOS (AWS). Post upgrade whenever I'm trying to connect to MySQL server it is throwing SSL connection error.

$ mysql -u yamcha -h database.yourproject.com -p --port 3309

ERROR 2026 (HY000): SSL connection error: error:1425F102:SSL routines:ssl_choose_client_version:unsupported protocol

But if I pass --ssl-mode=disabled option along with it, I'm able to connect remotely.

$ mysql -u yamcha -h database.yourproject.com -p --port 3309 --ssl-mode=disabled

Queries:

  1. How to connect without passing --ssl-mode=disabled
  2. How to pass this --ssl-mode=disabled option in my Django application, currently I've defined it as shown below, but I'm still getting the same error.
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'yamcha',
        'USER': 'yamcha',
        'PASSWORD': 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
        'HOST': 'database.yourproject.com',
        'PORT': '3309',
        'OPTIONS': {'ssl': False},
    }

Ubuntu 20 has improved the security level. The only way i could connect whas allowing the tls 1 .

Edit this file:

/usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf

And put at the beginning of file:

openssl_conf = default_conf

And in the end of that file too:

[ default_conf ]

ssl_conf = ssl_sect

[ssl_sect]

system_default = ssl_default_sect

[ssl_default_sect]
MinProtocol = TLSv1
CipherString = DEFAULT:@SECLEVEL=1

It help me a lot: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1233186/ubuntu-20-04-how-to-set-lower-ssl-security-level

Add this to your mysql 5.7 server config file and then restart your mysql service

[mysqld]
tls_version=TLSv1.2

Now you should be able to connect to it using tls 1.2, which is the default in Ubuntu 20.04


For the sake of completeness, in Ubuntu 20.04 actually my.cnf and mysql.cnf are actually the same file. So editing either one will work.

$ readlink -f /etc/mysql/my.cnf
/etc/mysql/mysql.cnf

Bump mysqlclient to v2.X, which added ssl_mode option, https://github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient-python/blob/main/HISTORY.rst

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'yamcha',
        'USER': 'yamcha',
        'PASSWORD': 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
        'HOST': 'database.yourproject.com',
        'PORT': '3309',
        'OPTIONS': {'ssl_mode': 'DISABLED'},
    }
}

For anyone googling, you can use this flag in mysql cmd: --ssl-mode=DISABLED. I.E:

mysql -uuser -p'myPassw0rd!' -hmysql.company.com --ssl-mode=DISABLED

If You are using MYSQL Workbench :

Just Disable the SSL by editing the connection.

  1. Go to edit Connection in connection panel

  2. Select SSL in options after parameter as given in screenshot On connection

enter image description here

  1. Select Use SSL : NO

enter image description here

  1. Finally it would look like this.

enter image description here

On clients other than Mysql workbench also you can try disabling SSL

If you still want the upgraded security features then you can consider upgrading your mysql server to 5.7.
