Gerrit and MySQL with SSL enabled

[Vladislav Khudyakov]

Hi, I'm trying to init gerrit with MySQL server where SSL mode is enabled

And after init I have following error:

fatal: DbInjector failed
fatal: Unable to determine SqlDialect
fatal:   caused by java.sql.SQLException: SSL connection is required. Please specify SSL options and retry.

I can't see any SSL related option in DB section in documentation.

Is there any way to get it work?

To pass options to the driver such as the one to use ssl, you normally need to set
database.url instead of the separate settings and put ?someOption=value in the url,
right after the database name.

On my side, I still use the separate settings (database.hostname, database.database,...) and
because I know gerrit will build the jdbc url from them, I pass the jdbc properties by appending
them to the database name:

[database]
    database = reviewDB?someOption=value

You need to check the mySQL connector documentation but I think the parameter you need is
useSSL=true:

[database]
    database = reviewDB?useSSL=true
