Spring Boot - Access denied unable to connect to MySql DB - spring-boot

Question

I have a fresh Spring Boot application setup. I'm trying to connect to MySql using Liquibase with the configuration below.
# Development DataSource #
spring:
datasource:
url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/cstmngtdatabase?
autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false
username: root
password: xxxx
driver-class-name: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
# Liquibase Configuration #
liquibase:
enabled: true
change-log: classpath:db/liquibase-changelog.xml
pom.xml:

But I got this error.

Thu Feb 15 17:39:45 ICT 2018 WARN: Establishing SSL connection without server's identity verification is not recommended. According to MySQL 5.5.45+, 5.6.26+ and 5.7.6+ requirements SSL connection must be established by default if explicit option isn't set. For compliance with existing applications not using SSL the verifyServerCertificate property is set to 'false'. You need either to explicitly disable SSL by setting useSSL=false, or set useSSL=true and provide truststore for server certificate verification.

I tried all of the solutions for similar problems here but none of them seem to work out. When I added #EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class}) to class WebServiceSpringBootApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer it doesn't error, but it doesn't connect to database too. How am I supposed to fix this?
