Python - MySQL SSL Connections
I just got the following to work with Python 2.7 and MySQLdb (1.2.4):
database = MySQLdb.connect(host='hostname', user='username', db='db_name',
passwd='PASSWORD', ssl={'ca': '/path/to/ca-file'})
This is what you had so there must be something else going on here. I wonder if you have something either incorrect with the your local CA file or possibly the cert on the server? Can you get a copy of the CA file from the server?

I have a MySQL Server set up to use SSL and I also have the CA Certificate.
When I connect to the server using MySQL Workbench, I do not need the certificate. I can also connect to the server using Python and MySQLdb on a Mac without the CA-certificate.
But when I try to connect using the exact same setup of Python and MySQLdb on a windows machine, I get access denied. It appears that I need the CA. And when I enter the CA, I get the following error
_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (2026, 'SSL connection error')
My code to open the connection is below:
db = MySQLdb.connect(host="host.name", port=3306, user="user", passwd="secret_password", db="database", ssl={'ca': '/path/to/ca/cert'})
Could anyone point out what the problem is on a windows?
