In case I do actually want to use certificates and SSL, the error when connecting to Aurora DB is a bit different:
In C++: # ERR: SQLException in query: [] on line 0 # ERR: SSL connection error: error:1425F102:SSL routines:ssl_choose_client_version:unsupported protocol (MySQL error code: 2026, SQLState: HY000 ) Using the command line client mysql: mysql -h servername.rds.amazonaws.com -u username -p --ssl-ca=/home/username/sslcert/rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem --ssl-mode=VERIFY_CA Enter password: ERROR 2026 (HY000): SSL connection error: error:00000001:lib(0):func(0):reason(1) Again, all this works in previous versions of Ubuntu. I guess if the connection works this is what Robie Basak means by a downgrade attack. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872541 Title: MySQL client fails to connect, seems to force SSL To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1872541/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
