If you don't have SSL support, the variables have_ssl and have_openssl will be set to NO and the function sha2() will return null. To fix this, you will need to recompile mysql using

$>cmake . -DWITH_SSL=bundled

or

$>cmake . -DWITH_SSL=system

See the friendly manual for details. If you're not running MySQL version 5.5.5 or later, please upgrade.
