Connection Java-MySql : Public Key Retrieval is not allowed

Question

I try to connect MySql database with Java using connector 8.0.11. Everything seems to be ok but I have this exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: Public Key Retrieval is not allowed

Stack Trace:

Connector Manager:

public class ConnectionManager {

    public static final String serverTimeZone = "UTC";
    public static final String serverName = "localhost";
    public static final String databaseName ="biblioteka";
    public static final int portNumber = 3306;
    public static final String user = "anyroot";
    public static final String password = "anyroot";

    public static Connection getConnection() throws SQLException {

        MysqlDataSource dataSource = new MysqlDataSource();

        dataSource.setUseSSL( false );
        dataSource.setServerTimezone( serverTimeZone );
        dataSource.setServerName( serverName );
        dataSource.setDatabaseName( databaseName );
        dataSource.setPortNumber( portNumber );
        dataSource.setUser( user );
        dataSource.setPassword( password );

        return dataSource.getConnection();
    }
}

Answer 1

You should add client option to your mysql-connector allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true

https://mysql-net.github.io/MySqlConnector/connection-options/

could help also adding useSSL=false

Answer 2

Use jdbc url as :

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

PortNo: 3306 can be different in your configuation

Answer 3

Alternatively to the suggested answers you could try and use mysql_native_password authentication plugin instead of caching_sha2_password authentication plugin.

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'your_password_here'; 

Answer 4

I solve this issue using below configuration on spring boot framework

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/db-name?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true&useSSL=false
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=root

Answer 5

In my case it was user error. I was using the root user with an invalid password. I am not sure why I didn't get an auth error but instead received this cryptic message.

Answer 6

The above error in my case was actually due to the wrong username and password. Solving the issue: 1. Go to the line DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/?useSSL=false", "username", "password"); The fields username and password might be wrong. Enter the username and password which you use to start your mysql client. The username is generally root and password is the string which you enter when a screen similar to this appears Startup screen of mysql

Note: The portname 3306 might be different in your case.

Answer 7

This solution worked for MacOS Sierra, and running MySQL version 8.0.11. Please make sure driver you have added in your build path - "add external jar" should match up with SQL version.

String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/syscharacterEncoding=utf8&useSSL=false&serverTimezone=UTC&rewriteBatchedStatements=true";

Answer 8

I found this issue frustrating because I was able to interact with the database yesterday, but after coming back this morning, I started getting this error.

I tried adding the allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true flag, but I kept getting the error.

What fixed it for me was doing Project->Clean in Eclipse and Clean on my Tomcat server. One (or both) of those fixed it.

I don't understand why, because I build my project using Maven, and have been restarting my server after each code change. Very irritating...

Answer 9

Give connection URL as jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hb_student_tracker?allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true&useSSL=false&serverTimezone=UTC

Answer 10

If you are getting the following error while connecting the mysql (either local or mysql container running the mysql):

java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: Public Key Retrieval is not allowed

Solution: Add the following line in your database service:

command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
