I have configured my server to allow SSL, and have modified my client ~/.my.cnf so I use SSL:



[client]
ssl
ssl-cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
ssl-ca=~/certs/ca-cert.pem


When I log in with my client and view the status, it lists a cipher on the SSL line:



mysql> s
--------------
SSL: Cipher in use is DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA


Without installing something like wireshark to verify that the connection is secure, can I assume that I'm connecting via SSL based on this information?

          From the client, just run status. If this connection is using SSL, you'll get something interesting in the SSL row.

          You can also use:

          But I think the first is more attractive, and sure easier to type.

          • show status like 'Ssl_version' can also be useful to determine the SSL/TLS protocol version being used.

          This is applicable to mariadb mysql (haven't tried in pure mysql):



          mysql -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -u testuser --ssl



          '--ssl' will tell you if ssl is enabled, without, it will say 'not in use'

            force SSL per user



            alter user 'my_user'@'%' REQUIRE SSL;
