Question
Can't connect to MySQL instance in managed databases

Asked by jhazel
Managed MySQL instances were just released yesterday so I decided to spin one up to test it out. I have not been able to connect to the instance using any tool at my disposal. Running OSX 10.14.6
- Sequel Pro (nightly build) produces this error: MySQL said: SSL connection error: socket layer receive error
- TablePlus produces this error: SSL connection error: error:00000005:lib(0):func(0):DH lib
- MySQL cli using this command
mysql -u doadmin -*********** -h db-mysql-***-71474-do-user-******-0.db.ondigitalocean.com -P 25060 -D defaultdb
produces this error: ERROR 2026 (HY000): SSL connection error: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0)
What is required in order to connect to this database? I’ve downloaded the CA Cert that was provided. I’ve installed that via Keychain. I’ve also provided it to Sequel Pro and TablePlus in the proper fields on the login dialogs. What am I missing? This doesn’t seem to be addressed in the connection docs (https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/databases/mysql/how-to/connect/) or the troubleshooting docs (https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/databases/mysql/resources/troubleshoot-connections/).

Answer: Okay I think I’ve gotten to the bottom of this. I can’t edit my original question but leaving this here in case someone else runs into it.
The use of the non-standard port must have been blocked on my network. After changing networks and verifying the port is open, it now connects. So I’ve learned from this:
Updating the mysql-client worked for me.
(It was using the 5.7.27 previously)
@PHF, @jhazel, I have tried the latest sequel pro build (https://sequelpro.com/test-builds) and it does not work. I used TCP/IP connection with the SSL enabled and passing ca-certificate.crt to it.
Would be lovely to see some good alternatives or ideas for what to try to have Sequel Pro connecting :/
