Database SSL Checker

Check SSL/TLS support on common database ports

About Database SSL/TLS

Database connections should always be encrypted with SSL/TLS to protect sensitive data in transit from eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. Our Database SSL Checker tests whether MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis servers accept SSL/TLS connections on their standard ports, helping you identify unencrypted database endpoints that could expose your data.

How to Use

  1. Enter the domain name or IP address of your database server.
  2. Click Check SSL to test SSL/TLS support on common database ports.
  3. Review the results for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis SSL status.
  4. Enable SSL/TLS on any database services that show as not supporting encryption.

Use Cases

  • Security Auditing: Identify database servers that are accepting unencrypted connections.
  • Compliance Verification: Ensure database encryption meets PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR requirements.
  • Configuration Review: Verify that SSL/TLS enforcement is working after database configuration changes.
  • Cloud Migration: Check SSL/TLS support when migrating databases between on-premises and cloud environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

The tool checks MySQL on port 3306, PostgreSQL on port 5432, MongoDB on port 27017, and Redis on port 6379 by default. It attempts an SSL/TLS handshake on each port and reports whether the database server accepts encrypted connections.
No, this tool only checks if the database server is willing to establish an SSL/TLS connection. It does not verify the certificate's validity, expiry, or trust chain. Use our SSL Certificate Checker for full certificate validation.
This tool checks standard default ports for each database type. If your database uses a custom port, you should manually verify SSL/TLS support using a database client with SSL enforcement enabled. Always use SSL/TLS regardless of the port.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify database SSL/TLS configuration meets security requirements
  • Test database SSL connections from application servers
  • Monitor database certificate expiry to prevent connection failures
  • Use mutual TLS for database authentication when possible
