RDS SSL error

Question

Hi,  
  
I am trying to connect to RDS through Lambda NodeJS 12.x with SSL. However I am receiving these errors:

```
  Error: 4506652096:error:1425F102:SSL routines:ssl_choose_client_version:unsupported protocol:
  library: 'SSL routines',
  function: 'ssl_choose_client_version',
  reason: 'unsupported protocol',
  code: 'HANDSHAKE_SSL_ERROR'
 ```

I am connecting like this:

```
const pool  = mysql.createPool({
  connectionLimit     : 10,
  host                : 'db.cqgcxllqwqnk.eu-central-1.rds.amazonaws.com',
  ssl                 : {
    ca                : fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/rds-ca-2019-root.pem')
  },
  user                : ‘xxxxx’,
  password            : ‘xxxxxx’,
  database            : ‘xxxxxx’,
  multipleStatements  : true
});
```

When I connect with the certificate through MySql Workbench everything works just fine.  
  
Any idea on how to solve this?  
  
Thanks a lot!

Answer

Hi MrK,  
  
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately those are not the issues as I can connect just fine without SSL and the database is updated to use the new certificate. As mentioned I connect with that certificate just fine through MySQL WorkBench.

I am experiencing the same issue, did you get it resolved?

Answer

The MySQL version was too old, needed to upgrade (I upgraded to 8)

Answer

Hi,  
  
Ensure that your Lambda function has the necessary role attached to it, to be allow it connect to the RDS instance located in your VPC \[1].  
  
Also make sure that the client's certificate matches the database instances certificate, in your case the  rds-ca-2019 is being used with the lambda, the RDS instance should also make user of this certificate. If your instance was launched after 14 January 2020 it would already have the latest certitifcate \[2]   
  
Hope this is of some help  
/MrK
