Apr 5 at 17:20 | comment | added | John Hanley | In Google Cloud SQL, the client certificate is used for mutual authentication and encryption. The client certificate is issued by Google and is known to Google Cloud SQL and normally, it does not matter to your code or the TLS connection who signed it. IIRC, SQL clients perform no validation of a client certificate beyond validating the correct format and content. It is up to the server application (Cloud SQL) to validate the certificate presented during the authentication phase. The primary** purpose of the Cloud SQL client certificate is encryption. | |
