Hi,
I had a problem with secure connection to sql server.
I use mysqli extension, I configured server['ssl'] = true. I have a user
'szabolcs' in sql who needs ssl.
First I received 'mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for
user 'szabolcs'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'.
That was why PMA doesn't use MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL. I should add it to
$client_flags.
After this I got the following error:'mysqli_query(): SSL operation failed
with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:0607A082:digital envelope
routines:EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length:invalid key length
error:0607A082:digital envelope
routines:EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length:invalid key length'.
PMA uses openssel functions to encrypt values in cookie if openssl
functions exist, other case PMA uses Crypt\AES. With Crypt\AES PMA works
fine.
I don't know the exact source of this problem. I think openssl functions
have a bug.
Because the mysqli connection with ssl is successful After connection in
common.inc.php $auth_plugin->storeUserCredentials() is called. This
function stores the username and password and other parameters into cookie.
To encrypt:
openssl_encrypt(
$data,
'AES-128-CBC',
$secret,
0,
$this->_cookie_iv
);
I think the problem is that openssl_encrypt change the cipher to
AES-128-CBC globally. It means the cipher of mysqli connection is also
modified. This is why mysqli_query failed after encryption.
Here is my solution:
