How to disable ssl plugin on MySQL 5.7 server?
New introduced SSL connections on MySQL Server is now default installed on CentOS 6.7 default rep.
Just removing the certificate files can solve it accoding with Docs:
"If the server does not find valid certificate and key files in the data directory, it continues executing, but does not enable secure connections." Ref: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/secure-connections.html
But I want to fully disable SSL connections plugin on MySQL server, because I want to optimize the performance of MySQL server by removing everything that I am not using and this includes this plugin.
