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. ** Also affects: ubuntu-release-notes Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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
