MySQL SSL: bad other signature confirmation
- by samJL
I am trying to enable SSL connections for MySQL-- SSL will show as enabled in MySQL, but I can't make any connections due to this error: ERROR 2026 (HY000): SSL connection error: ASN: bad other signature confirmation
I am running the following:
Ubuntu Version: 14.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-34-generic x86_64)
MySQL Version: 5.5.38-0ubuntu0.14.04.1
OpenSSL Version: OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
I used these commands to generate my certificates (all generated in /etc/mysql):
openssl genrsa -out ca-key.pem 2048
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -key ca-key.pem -out ca-cert.pem -subj "/C=US/ST=NY/O=MyCompany/CN=ca"
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -days 3650 -keyout server-key.pem -out server-req.pem -subj "/C=US/ST=NY/O=MyCompany/CN=server"
openssl rsa -in server-key.pem -out server-key.pem
openssl x509 -req -in server-req.pem -CA ca-cert.pem -CAkey ca-key.pem -set_serial 01 -out server-cert.pem
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -days 3650 -keyout client-key.pem -out client-req.pem -subj "/C=US/ST=NY/O=MyCompany/CN=client"
openssl rsa -in client-key.pem -out client-key.pem
openssl x509 -req -in client-req.pem -CA ca-cert.pem -CAkey ca-key.pem -set_serial 01 -out client-cert.pem
I put the following in my.cnf:
[mysqld]
ssl-ca=/etc/mysql/ca-cert.pem
ssl-cert=/etc/mysql/server-cert.pem
ssl-key=/etc/mysql/server-key.pem
When I attempt to connect specifying the client certificates-- I get the following error:
mysql -uroot -ppassword --ssl-ca=/etc/mysql/ca-cert.pem --ssl-cert=/etc/mysql/client-cert.pem --ssl-key=/etc/mysql/client-key.pem
ERROR 2026 (HY000): SSL connection error: ASN: bad other signature confirmation
If I connect without SSL, I can see that MySQL has correctly loaded the certificates:
mysql -uroot -ppassword --ssl=false
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%ssl%';
+---------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+----------------------------+
| have_openssl | YES |
| have_ssl | YES |
| ssl_ca | /etc/mysql/ca-cert.pem |
| ssl_capath | |
| ssl_cert | /etc/mysql/server-cert.pem |
| ssl_cipher | |
| ssl_key | /etc/mysql/server-key.pem |
+---------------+----------------------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
My generated certificates pass OpenSSL verification and modulus:
openssl verify -CAfile ca-cert.pem server-cert.pem client-cert.pem
server-cert.pem: OK
client-cert.pem: OK
What am I missing? I used this same process before on a different server and it worked- however the Ubuntu version was 12.04 LTS and the OpenSSL version was older (don't remember specifically). Has something changed with the latest OpenSSL?
Any help would be appreciated!
