The problem is not with SSL libraries.
The problem is with the new Client authentication method
introduced with MySQL 8.0.
The JTAlertV2 MySQL support uses a library that wraps the
libmysql.dll client file.
Both the library and the dll are old and do not support the new
authentication method of MySQL 8.0.
At this time, I have been unable to locate a new library (I don't
expect I will).
I was able to workaround this by enabling Legacy Authentication on
the server.
I understand this may not be an option for some
MySQL Server users, but it is the only fix at this time.
BTW, this change broke
many MySQL client applications when first released, including at
one time, the official MySQL workbench app.
FWIW, JTAlertV3 will not have this problem as it uses the
official Oracle .NET MySQL connector.
