I'm attempting to get Dovecot working with MySQL user database on

another machine. I can connect to the MySQL (5.7.26) instance with SSL

enabled:

mysql -h db.mrst.ee --ssl-ca=/etc/dovecot/ca.pem

--ssl-cert=/etc/dovecot/client-cert.pem

--ssl-key=/etc/dovecot/client-key.pem --ssl-cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA

-u vmail -p

However if I use the same values in dovecot-sql.conf.ext, I get the

following error:

Database connection string:

connect = host=db.mrst.ee dbname=vmail user=vmail password=stuff \

    ssl_ca=/etc/dovecot/ca.pem \

    ssl_cert=/etc/dovecot/client-cert.pem \

    ssl_key=/etc/dovecot/client-key.pem \

    ssl_cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA

Update: I got it to connect successfully now after downgrading the MySQL

server tls-version from TLSv1.1 to TLSv1.

Is there a reason why Dovecot MySQL doesn't support TLSv1.1?

Thanks!
