Description
I've been trying to move from using a self-signed certificate to using a wildcard certificate from a well-known CA to reduce maintenance overhead and improve security. The certificate has already been in use for months on test servers. The setup is working well enough that I can do the following (domain name anonymised):
mysql --host=host.example-dot-com-equivalent-for.co.uk --user=query_user --password --ssl
|
This connects successfully after providing the password. However, when I try to actually verify the certificate Common Name it fails:
$ mysql --host=host.example-dot-com-equivalent-for.co.uk --user=query_user --password --ssl --ssl-verify-server-cert
|
ERROR 2026 (HY000): SSL connection error: SSL certificate validation failure
|
After compiling MariaDB 5.5 using
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DWITH_SSL=yes
|
and running the client with
--debug
|
I get the following trace log (trimmed):
mysql_real_connect: info: Connecting

Note specifically that the `Server name` value matches the `CN` value.
The certificate is valid for the given hostname and is not expired, as verified by `openssl s_client -connect host.example-dot-com-equivalent-for.co.uk:443 -verify_return_error < /dev/null`. The "X509v3 Subject Alternative Name" field contains "DNS:*.example-dot-com-equivalent-for.co.uk, DNS:example-dot-com-equivalent-for.co.uk"
The whole certificate chain is in the file pointed to by the server's `ssl-cert` configuration, as recommended elsewhere. "USERTrust RSA Certification Authority" is in the client's /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt and /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt. I tried adding `--ssl-ca=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt` to the command, but that didn't change anything.
The question ends up being: *Do MySQL/MariaDB clients support wildcard certificates? If they do, is something wrong with my connection?*
Original client:
$ mysql --version
|
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.1.21-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1
|
Debug client:
$ ./client/mysql --version
|
./client/mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.56-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1
|
Server:
# rpm -q mariadb
|
mariadb-5.5.52-1.el7.x86_64
