Proposed fix: [MySQL Connector/J] 'Public Key Retrieval is not allowed' — caching_sha2_password/sha256 auth over a non-TLS connection without allowPublicKeyRetrieval or serverRSAPublicKeyFile (often r
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Prefer TLS (sslMode=REQUIRED/VERIFY_IDENTITY) so the password goes over the encrypted channel; otherwise supply serverRSAPublicKeyFile, or for local dev only set allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true.
Option: Use TLS or provide the key [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. jdbc:mysql://host/db?sslMode=REQUIRED
2. or ...?serverRSAPublicKeyFile=/path/public_key.pem
3. dev only: ...?allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true&useSSL=false
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
