Basically I can't get Unicenta opos to connect to a fresh install of mysql server on Debian 11. I have set up a user and granted privileges in mysql, created a new database named MAINDB and for some reason Unicenta won't make it connect....

Both the mysql-server and Unicenta run on the same machine.

a bit more info :

I had run the

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES * . * ON 'unipos'@'localhost';

and

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

after creating the 'unipos' user in mysql.

mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR unipos;
ERROR 1141 (42000): There is no such grant defined for user 'unipos' on host '%'
mysql> select host from mysql.user
    -> ;

The below is from mysql's error log file in /var/log/mysql/error.log

    Version: '5.7.36'  socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'  port: 3306  MySQL Community Server (GPL)

2021-11-09T16:39:31.981642Z 3 [Note] Bad handshake

I am guessing, there is a compatibility issue between the versions of Unicenta and mysql, however, I can't find any information on it. It is worth mentioning, that if I change the user credentials to the 'root' user in Unicenta setup screen nothing changes.

I can also connect to the database using the mysql command client with the 'unipos' user credentials :

jr91@Luke-deb:~$ mysql -h localhost -u unipos -p MAINDB 
Enter password: 
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. 
Commands end with ; or \g. 
Your MySQL connection id is 53 Server version: 5.7.36 MySQL Community Server (GPL)

Any ideas ?

From what I have found I know that Unicenta works well with mysql 5.7.33, but this is not supported by Debian 11 (bullseye), not sure if that can cause the problem....

This is a compatibility problem between Java and MySQL. A temporary fix is to edit the java.security file of your Java installation. You can find the solution here on StackOverflow in the first answer.
