TMA-MYSQL-8.1

Ensure 'require_secure_transport' is Set to 'ON'

HighLevel 1Automatedmysql

Description

All network traffic must use SSL/TLS when traveling over untrusted networks. Runs mysql -NBe with the client defaults: put an administrative account in ~/.my.cnf (mode 0600) or a mysql_config_editor login path, not MYSQL_PWD (see 1.4/1.6).

How it is checked

Audit method: SQL query

sql_query

out=$(mysql -NBe "SELECT IF(@@global.require_secure_transport = 1, 'compliant', 'noncompliant')" 2>/dev/null) || exit 1; printf '%s\n' "$out"

Expected output: compliant

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Configure TLS certificates, confirm all clients connect with TLS, then SET PERSIST require_secure_transport = ON;
