@wysota,

That would be a realistic option if I couldn't login with a terminal. Using the following command works fine however with the same certificates:
Qt Code: 
  1. mysql --ssl-ca ca-cert.pem --ssl-cert p2pro-application-cert.pem --ssl-key p2pro-application-key.pem -u test -h 192.xxx.xxx.xxx -p
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I am checking right now if the C-API mysql_real_connect() works with the same certs. If so then the problem lies with Qt. If that also doesn't work - then I will check the MySql C++ connector API. Maybe there is something else that I am overseeing...
Again thx. for your patience, help, and suggestions..
