Hi all, I've got PHPMyAdmin running on the master server which holds just the controlpanel and the apps that clients need like PHPMyAdmin,net2ftp, etc. I can log in to all DB servers (3 total) but Phpmyadmin shows: Server connection: SSL is not being used There is a help link next to it which mention the following: Code: Using SSL for connection to database server It is recommended to use SSL when connecting to remote database server. There are several configuration options involved in the SSL setup: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl'] Defines whether to use SSL at all. If you enable only this, the connection will be encrypted, but there is not authentication of the connection - you can not verify that you are talking to the right server. $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_key'] and $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_cert'] This is used for authentication of client to the server. $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_ca'] and $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_ca_path'] The certificate authorities you trust for server certificates. This is used to ensure that you are talking to a trusted server. $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_verify'] This configuration disables server certificate verification. Use with caution. I've tried to add the: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl'] to the /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php at the bottom but nothing is happening. Same problem. I then added the same under /etc/phpmyadmin/conf.d/config.manyhosts.inc.php and can't login: Code: mysqli_real_connect(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number mysqli_real_connect(): Cannot connect to MySQL by using SSL mysqli_real_connect(): [2002] (trying to connect via (null)) mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed. This is the content of the file: Code: <?php $i=0; $hosts = array ( "localhost", // controlpanel "10.0.0.6", // db1 "10.0.0.7", // db2 "10.0.0.14" // db3 //"baz.example.com", //"quux.example.com", ); foreach ($hosts as $host) { $i++; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = $host; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = FALSE; // SSLsection $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl'] = true; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_verify'] = false; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'mypass'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = 'phpmyadmin'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = 'pma__bookmark'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = 'pma__relation'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] = 'pma__table_info'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = 'pma__table_coords'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = 'pma__pdf_pages'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] = 'pma__column_info'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] = 'pma__history'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_uiprefs'] = 'pma__table_uiprefs'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking'] = 'pma__tracking'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['userconfig'] = 'pma__userconfig'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['recent'] = 'pma__recent'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['favorite'] = 'pma__favorite'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['users'] = 'pma__users'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['usergroups'] = 'pma__usergroups'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['navigationhiding'] = 'pma__navigationhiding'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['savedsearches'] = 'pma__savedsearches'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['central_columns'] = 'pma__central_columns'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['designer_settings'] = 'pma__designer_settings'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['export_templates'] = 'pma__export_templates'; } If I take out the ssl part (see below) from the above it works fine again but without SSL of course. Code: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl'] = true; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_verify'] = false; I've also tried adding: $cfg['ForceSSL'] = true; which doesn't throw any error but the warning of not been used SSL is still there. Any help is very much appreciated.
