• --ssl-fips-mode={OFF|ON|STRICT} 

Controls whether to enable FIPS mode on the client side. The --ssl-fips-mode  option differs from other --ssl- xxx  options in that it is not used to establish encrypted connections, but rather to affect which cryptographic operations to permit. See Section 6.8, “FIPS Support” . 

These --ssl-fips-mode  values are permitted: 

• OFF : Disable FIPS mode. 

• ON : Enable FIPS mode. 

• STRICT : Enable “strict”  FIPS mode.

• --tls-ciphersuites= ciphersuite_list 

## Note 

If the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module is not available, the only permitted value for --ssl-fips-mode  is OFF . In this case, setting --ssl-fips-mode  to ON  or STRICT  causes the client to produce a warning at startup and to operate in non- FIPS mode. 

The permissible ciphersuites for encrypted connections that use TLSv1.3. The value is a list of one or more colon-separated ciphersuite names. The ciphersuites that can be named for this option depend on the SSL library used to compile MySQL. For details, see Section 6.3.2, “Encrypted Connection TLS Protocols and Ciphers” . 

This option was added in MySQL 8.0.16. 

• --tls-version= protocol_list 

The permissible TLS protocols for encrypted connections. The value is a list of one or more comma- separated protocol names. The protocols that can be named for this option depend on the SSL library used to compile MySQL. For details, see Section 6.3.2, “Encrypted Connection TLS Protocols and Ciphers” . 

• --upgrade-system-tables , -s 

Upgrade only the system tables in the mysql  schema, do not upgrade user schemas. 

• --user= user_name , -u user_name 

The user name of the MySQL account to use for connecting to the server. The default user name is root . 

• --verbose 

Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does. 

• --version-check , -k 

Check the version of the server to which mysql_upgrade  is connecting to verify that it is the same as the version for which mysql_upgrade  was built. If not, mysql_upgrade  exits. This option is enabled by default; to disable the check, use --skip-version-check .
