Configuring MySQL database to use SSL for Data Warehouse

SSL encrypts the connection between the MySQL server and the Hive MetaStore (HMS) on the base cluster. You must enable SSL for the MySQL database before setting up the CDP Private Cloud Data Services and add the MySQL root Certificate Authorities (CA) to the Cloudera Manager truststore.

SSH into the MySQL database host.
Start the MySQL server:
```
service mysqld start
```
Establish an encrypted connection with the client:
```
mysql -p --ssl-mode=required
```
Verify whether SSL is enabled on MySQL by running the following command:
```
mysql> show global variables like '%ssl%';
```
If SSL is enabled, you see the value of have_ssl equal to YES, as follows. Otherwise, you see the value of have_ssl equal to DISABLED:
```
+---------------+----------+
| Variable_name | Value    |
+---------------+----------+
| have_openssl  | YES      |
| have_ssl      | YES      |
| ...           | ...      | 
```
If SSL is enabled, then skip to step 11.

Create a certificate authority by running the following commands:

mkdir /etc/my.cnf.d/ssl/
cd /etc/my.cnf.d/ssl/  
openssl genrsa 2048 > ca-key.pem

Create a certificate for the server using the CA certificate generated earlier by running the following command:

openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 365000 -key ca-key.pem -out ca-cert.pem
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -days 365 -nodes -keyout server-key.pem -out server-req.pem
openssl rsa -in server-key.pem -out server-key.pem

Create a certificate for the clients using the same CA certificate by running the following command:
```
openssl x509 -req -in server-req.pem -days 365 -CA ca-cert.pem -CAkey ca-key.pem -set_serial 01 -out server-cert.pem
```
Add the following lines in the /etc/my.cnf.d/server.cnf file under the [mysqld] section:
```
ssl-ca=/etc/my.cnf.d/ssl/ca-cert.pem
ssl-cert=/etc/my.cnf.d/ssl/server-cert.pem
ssl-key=/etc/my.cnf.d/ssl/server-key.pem
bind-address=*
```
You can view the content of the server.cnf file by running the following command:
```
vim /etc/my.cnf.d/server.cnf
```
Restart the MySQL server:
```
service mysqld restart
```

Check the SSL status by running the following commands:

mysql -p --ssl-mode=required
> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%ssl%';
> status

Sample output:

> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%ssl%';

View the contents of the ssl-client.xml file by running the following commands:
```
export SSL_CLIENT=/etc/hadoop/conf/ssl-client.xml
cat $SSL_CLIENT
```

Obtain the truststore's location and password by running the following commands:

export TRUSTSTORE_LOCATION=$(xmllint --xpath "//configuration/property[name='ssl.client.truststore.location']/value/text()" $SSL_CLIENT)

export TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD=$(xmllint --xpath "//configuration/property[name='ssl.client.truststore.password']/value/text()" $SSL_CLIENT)

Verify the contents of the truststore by running the following command:

/usr/java/default/bin/keytool -list -rfc -keystore $TRUSTSTORE_LOCATION -storetype JKS -storepass $TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD

Import the MySQL root certificate by running the following command:

/usr/java/default/bin/keytool -importcert -alias mysql -file /var/lib/mysql/ca.pem -keystore $TRUSTSTORE_LOCATION -storetype jks -noprompt -storepass $TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD

Verify the contents of the truststore again by running the following command:

/usr/java/default/bin/keytool -list -rfc -keystore $TRUSTSTORE_LOCATION -storetype JKS -storepass $TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD

When you install CDP Private Cloud Data Services after adding the MySQL root CA to the Cloudera Manager truststore, the installer propogates the MySQL root CA from the Cloudera Manager truststore to CDP Private Cloud. HMS in the default Database Catalog can now connect to the MySQL server on the base cluster using an SSL-encrypted connection.
