Connection stalls when connecting via SSH Tunnel with SSL

My company recently made it mandatory to use SSL when connecting to the MySQL databases and we have to go via SSH tunnel as these are not publically accessible.

I was using the 'Maria DB or MySQL (SSH tunnel)' option before making the SSL mandatory. After the change, I enabled the Use SSL on advanced and provided the SSL CA certificate (which I had to switch to TCP/IP network type to do so and switch back to SSH tunnel).

When connecting it stalls and not do anything at all. Below is the session log.

I can connect to the database using MySQL workbench with the same settings so the reply from Network/DB admin was it's something to do with this tool (which is not very helpful).

Appreciate any help to resolve this problem. I'm not very tech savvy but can try out different options suggested.

Heidi version: 10.1.0.5464 (64 bit) Environment: windows v10.0

Thanks in Advance

I just pushed a few fixes which now allow using SSL in SSH tunnel connections as well. So you should update to the next nightly build, but wait at least half an hour until it's available.

Thanks ansgar. The nightly build 5565 (10.1.0.5565) definitely helped progress things. But now I get the error message "SSL connection error: Certificate signature check failed".

This is similar to github issue 330 (github.com / HeidiSQL / HeidiSQL / issues / 330) but my MySQL server version is 5.6.41 hosted in AWS RDS

I haven't tried replacing the lib as I saw the libs were updated in the on of the builds.

Let me know if there is anything to try.

Thanks

Yes, this looks quite the same as issue #330, for which I don't have a solution yet.

Updating libmariadb.dll may help here - feel free to try out.
