Enforcing Encrypted Connections Between the aPriori Client and the MySQL Database (for On-Premise Deployments)

aPriori 2026 R1 SP1 updates the platform’s database connectivity behavior so that MySQL connections without explicit SSL configuration will automatically negotiate SSL with the database server.

Previously, connections that lacked an explicit SSL setting could be established without encryption. This change ensures that encrypted connections are used by default, improving the security posture of aPriori deployments that rely on MySQL without a manually configured SSL policy.

To establish the SSL connection the customer must only set require_secure_transport=ON in the MySQL server configuration file, in which case the client connection fails if it cannot connect with SSL.
