Connection Java - MySQL : Public Key Retrieval is not allowed

You should add client option to your mysql-connector allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true to allow the client to automatically request the public key from the server. Note that AllowPublicKeyRetrieval=True could allow a malicious proxy to perform a MITM attack to get the plaintext password, so it is False by default and must be explicitly enabled.

you could also try adding useSSL=false when you use it for testing/develop purposes

example:

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/db?allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true&useSSL=false

For DBeaver users:

1. Right click your connection, choose "Edit Connection"

2. On the "Connection settings" screen (main screen) click on "Edit Driver Settings"

3. Click on "Connection properties"

4. Right click the "user properties" area and choose "Add new property"

5. Add two properties: "useSSL" and "allowPublicKeyRetrieval"

6. Set their values to "false" and "true" by double clicking on the "value" column

When doing this from DBeaver I had to go to "Connection settings" -> "SSL" tab and then :

• uncheck the "Verify server certificate"
• check the "Allow public key retrival"

This is how it looks like.

Note that this is suitable for local development only.
