RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

Description of problem:
php mysqli does not properly support SSL options

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.3.2-6.el6_0.1.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$mysqli = mysqli_init();
$mysqli->ssl_set('./cert/client-key.pem', './cert/client-cert.pem', './cert/mysql-cacert.pem', null, null);
$mysqli->real_connect('removed', '', '', '');
if ($r = $mysqli->query("SHOW STATUS LIKE 'Ssl_cipher'")) {
    var_dump($r->fetch_row());
}
echo $mysqli->error."\n";
echo $mysqli->errno."\n";
?>

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: mysqli::ssl_set(): invalid object or resource mysqli

with MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'removed' (113)
errno = 2003
 
without MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL
Warning: mysqli::real_connect(): (28000/1045): Access denied for 
user 'removed' (using password: YES)
errno = 1045

ssl_set() in this case returns NULL, not true as doc says.

Expected result:
----------------
something like this for Ssl_cipher
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(10) "Ssl_cipher"
  [1]=>
  string(18) "DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA"
}

and no errors.

This should work as of the 5.3.3 update, do you still see problems?

This issue is no longer a problem for us as we've moved away from utilizing it.  I believe it was corrected in the past (as in we haven't had to apply this patch again).
