Uninstall Key Management Plugins
Once all data and logs have been decrypted, you can safely remove key management plugins, if desired. For example, if using the file key management plugin:
Comment out or remove the following lines
plugin_load_add = file_key_management
file_key_management_filename = /etc/mysql/encryption/keyfile
Restart the server after editing the configuration.
Ensure that all tables no longer report encryption in
CREATE_OPTIONS
.Confirm that redo logs and binary logs are unencrypted by checking server variables and log headers.
Confirm that no key management plugin is loaded:
SHOW PLUGINS;
