MySQL 8 replication via non-ssl connecion

I'm trying to setup tiny master-slave environment with percona-server-server.x86_64-8.0.27-18.1.el8.

A plan is to use non-ssl connections between the nodes as the servers will communicate in the LAN only. But following error is received on slaves:

error connecting to master '[email protected]:3306' - retry-time: 60 retries: 3 message: SSL connection error: SSL is required but the server doesn't support it

Latest mysql.cnf on both nodes:

[mysqld]

port = 3306
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
socket = /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock

tmpdir = /var/tmp/mysql
# User is ignored when systemd is used (fedora >= 15).
user = mysql
# adding this to allow replication w/o ssl
default_authentication_plugin = mysql_native_password
# disable ssl
ssl = 0

Replica is started with following command:

CHANGE REPLICATION SOURCE TO  SOURCE_HOST = '192.168.3.100', SOURCE_PORT = 3306, SOURCE_USER = 'replica', SOURCE_PASSWORD = 'xxx', SOURCE_AUTO_POSITION = 1, SOURCE_SSL=0;

Have you an idea how to fix the issue?

mysql_ssl_rsa_setup --uid=mysql

Solved an issue, it seems ssl certificates should exists for mysql 8 even if you do not use them in replication.
