Solved it. Turns out I had two and a half problems: first, I needed to copy the ssl files from the first node onto the second and third nodes, and chown them to the mysql user (that was the half problem). Finally, turns out I copy-pasted the one of the IP addresses incorrectly in the wsrep\_cluster\_address setting. This was easily verified by attempting to connect to the bootstrap node via mysql -u user -p -h192.168.1.1. Once I got a MySQL error message and not a timeout, I knew I was able to connect correctly.

I now have the cluster functioning correctly. I’m leaving this post up on the chance someone else finds this useful.
