Hi,

I'm in the process of setting up MaxScale on Ubuntu 16.04 fronting a Galera
cluster where the MariaDB database nodes (also on Ubuntu 16.04) are set to
use TLSv1.2. There is a "test" user and a "galeramon" user on the database,
both requiring SSL.

According to the documentation, I can configure this in MaxScale as follows:

[dbnode1]
type=server
address=172.16.1.22
port=3306
protocol=MySQLBackend
ssl=required
ssl_version=TLSv12
ssl_cert=/etc/mysql/ssl/db-client-cert.pem
ssl_key=/etc/mysql/ssl/db-client-key.pem
ssl_ca_cert=/etc/mysql/ssl/ca-cert.pem

[dbnode2]
type=server
address=172.16.1.23
port=3306
protocol=MySQLBackend
ssl=required
ssl_version=TLSv12
ssl_cert=/etc/mysql/ssl/db-client-cert.pem
ssl_key=/etc/mysql/ssl/db-client-key.pem
ssl_ca_cert=/etc/mysql/ssl/ca-cert.pem


[Galera Monitor]
type=monitor
module=galeramon
servers=dbnode1,dbnode2
user=galeramon
passwd=galeramon
monitor_interval=1000

[Galera Service]
type=service
router=readwritesplit
servers=dbnode1,dbnode2
user=galeramon
passwd=galeramon

[MaxAdmin Service]
type=service
router=cli

[Galera Listener]
type=listener
service=Galera Service
protocol=MySQLClient
port=3306
authenticator=MySQL
ssl=required
ssl_version=TLSv12
ssl_cert=/etc/mysql/ssl/server-cert.pem
ssl_key=/etc/mysql/ssl/server-key.pem
ssl_ca_cert=/etc/mysql/ssl/ca-cert.pem
ssl_cert_verify_depth=9

[MaxAdmin Listener]
type=listener
service=MaxAdmin Service
protocol=maxscaled
socket=default


However, this never successfully connects. I ran a packet capture on the
connection, and found that the reason it was failing was that MaxScale was
trying to connect using TLSv1.0 despite the specification. Changing the
"ssl_version" setting to "MAX" had no effect.

The version of openssl and libssl1.0.0 on the server are both
1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.8, so it should support TLSv1.2. I installed MaxScale with:

curl -sS https://downloads.mariadb.com/MariaDB/mariadb_repo_setup | sudo
bash -s -- --mariadb-server-version=mariadb-10.1
sudo apt install maxscale


I can disable the TLS requirement for the "galeramon" user, which allows
MaxScale to start up, but the moment I log into the database via MaxScale
as the "test" user, the connection fails, as the following transcript (from
a different server) shows:

test@dbclient01:~$ mysql -h 172.16.2.1 -u test -p
Enter password:

ERROR 2003 (HY000): Authentication with backend failed. Session will be

Is this a known issue, or is there something wrong with the configuration?
For the record, I can connect to a database instance over TLSv1.2 from the
MaxScale server using the mysql client with the same ("db-client-*")
certificate as specified above.
