To confirm, the MySQL client in Focal *does* work if you use "--ssl-
mode=DISABLED"?

If so, this seems appropriate to me since otherwise there would be a
downgrade attack. I'm not sure this is a bug in MySQL or Ubuntu's MySQL
packaging then - it's a step up in security which is the sort of thing
users can expect from new Ubuntu releases.

It would be nice to have a configuration item for users to turn this
behaviour off. If that exists it would be useful if somebody could
please document that in this bug. If it doesn't exist then someone could
file a bug upstream to request making it possible, but I don't think it
can be considered a bug in Ubuntu except that we might be able to make
the feature available if upstream implements it.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention though - I think it would
be a useful thing to add to the release notes.
