MySQL RDS certificate expired

0

My rds-ca-2019 certificate expired in my learning management system (lms) environment. I tried to update it but it is not taking because it just defaults back to the expired certificate.. As a result I cannot access my MySql database. I don't know how to proceed. If I can't, how do I create a new certificate to replace the old certificate? Do I need to create a new database and loose my updates to the data? Help!

  • I'm running in the LMS environment. My rds-ca-2019 certificate expired on August 22, 2024. I cannot even connect from my MySQL Workbench to the Amazon environment. As a result I can't run any of the suggested MySQL scripts. I'm stuck. I don't know what i can do from the AWS side.

  • I just realized my certificate has renewed somehow. However I still cannot reconnect from mySQL Workbench on my computer to AWS database. I had no problem from about a week ago.

Hey Bob, afraid we’re not in 2024 just yet.

You are correct that AwS now flag this certificate as expiring soon.

They recommend updating the certificate. This is performed by modifying the RDS instance and selecting a newer cert. 2019 is still the default but there are other alternatives. I recently deployed the most recent cert which expires in 2061
