mariadb TLS/SSL error

["Wim Geraets" <it@xxxxxx>]

When using my existing programs with more recent gambas eg 3.20.4, I get a connection error:

Try hConnection.open: Cannot open database: TLS/SSL error: SSL is required, but the server does not support it.

I use a mariadb server on my local network, indeed without SSL.

The Command Line client gives the same error.  

mariadb -h my.server.internal -u myname -p 
*******

ERROR 2026: TLS/SSL error..

But I can work around with the parameter --skip_ssl.

mariadb -h my.server.internal -u myname --skip_ssl -p 
*******

Welcome to the MariaDB... monitor

I can continue to work around by creating the file ~.my.cnf with as content: 
[Client] 
skip-ssl = true

Now I can login on the commandline.

What to do in Gambas?  Gambas does not seem to read "~.my.cnf".
Is there a way to give the parameter "--skip_ssl"?

(I work on openSUSE Tumbleweed and Leap, ok until version 3.20.2, problem occured from 3.20.4, most recent version tried 3.20.99)


Kind greetings,
