Configure the MySQL Database Server 8.0 to map the authenticated identity directly to the MySQL Database Server 8.0 user account.

Alter users to require X509 certificates.

Below is an example to add X509 as a requirement.
For a new user:
CREATE USER 'jeffrey'@'localhost' REQUIRE X509;
AND SUBJECT '/C=US/ST=Texas/L=Houston/O=SomeCompany/CN=Johan Smith'
  AND ISSUER '/C=US/ST=Texas/L=Houston/O=SomeCompany/CN=Some CA';

Or to add to an existing user:
ALTER USER 'johansmith'@'%'
REQUIRE X509
  AND SUBJECT '/C=US/ST=Texas/L=Houston/O=SomeCompany/CN=Johan Smith'
  AND ISSUER '/C=US/ST=Texas/L=Houston/O=SomeCompany/CN=Some CA';
