How to connect Mysql database over SSL in php? - php

Question

I have a YII 1 application. And I try to connect with the Azure database.
I can connect with the azure database if I disable the option: Enforce SSL connection
But of course I want to enable this option.
But if I enable this option. I get this error:
CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection: SQLSTATE[HY000] [9002] SSL connection is required. Please specify SSL options and retry.
CWebUser.php(146)
134
135 /**
136 * PHP magic method.
137 * This method is overridden so that persistent states can be accessed like properties.
138 * #param string $name property name
139 * #return mixed property value
140 */
141 public function __get($name)
142 {
143 if($this->hasState($name))
144 return $this->getState($name);
145 else
146 return parent::__get($name);
147 }
148
149 /**
150 * PHP magic method.
151 * This method is overridden so that persistent states can be set like properties.
152 * #param string $name property name
153 * #param mixed $value property value
154 * #throws CException
155 */
156 public function __set($name,$value)
157 {
158 if($this->hasState($name))
And my main.php in looks like this:
'db'=> [
'pdoClass' => 'NestedPDO',
'connectionString' => 'mysql:host=host_name;dbname=db_name',
'emulatePrepare' => true,
'username' => 'user',
'password' => 'password',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'enableProfiling'=>true,
],
'cache'=>[
'class'=>'system.caching.CDbCache',
],
So my question is: what is missing in this part of configuration?
Thank you
if I try it like this:
'db'=> [
'pdoClass' => 'NestedPDO',
'connectionString' => 'mysql:host=host_name;dbname=db_name',
'emulatePrepare' => true,
'username' => 'user',
'password' => 'password',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'enableProfiling'=>true,
'attributes' =>[
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => 'path ssl'
]
I get this error:
CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] (trying to connect via (null))
and In mysql workbrench if I test the ssl certificat I get a successful response.

Answer 1

CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] (trying to connect via (null))
As suggested by toffler, adding comment as a community wiki answer to help community members who might face a similar issue.
The error got resolved after adding PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT => false as per How to use SSL in PHP Data Objects (PDO) mysql
