Technical Articles ID: KB90356
Last Modified: 2023-09-07 09:23:48 Etc/GMT

Environment

Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) 4.x
Vulnerability Manager for Databases 4.x

Problem

The DAM MySQL DBMS test fails with the error below:

Check Connection Parameters cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'.

In mfedbs.log, you see the error below:

190 INFO [generalTask-1-thread-2 com.monolith.jdbc.b.b] - Scriptella Schema Migration./etl/query[122] executed: 47%

424 ERROR [exe-filter-8-thread-1 com.monolith.h.d.c.k] - got error from agent: 10000000 Failed to get mysql server version

Cause

The JDBC driver isn't distributed with the installer.

Solution

Database Security can't perform a VA scan against MySQL instances unless it has the appropriate driver. You can download this driver from the MySQL site. It's referenced in the Web console when you try to configure a MySQL instance for VA scans.

Navigate to MySQL Community Downloads.
In the Operating System drop-down, select Platform Independent.
Download the latest General Availability release.
Decompress and copy the file to the following:
- For Database Security 4.7 and earlier:
  <Server Installation Directory>\common \lib
- For Database Security 4.8 and later:
  <Server Installation Directory>\lib
Restart the Database Security service.
Perform the scan.
