- According to unsupported protocol in the error information, the problem may be related to the TLS version. Run the following command to check the TLS versions of the TaurusDB instance and self-managed MySQL database:
show variables like '%tls_version%';
It was found that the TaurusDB instance used TLS v1.2 and the self-managed MySQL database used TLS v1.1. The TLS version of the client was the same as that of the self-managed MySQL database. As a result, the self-managed MySQL database was successfully connected, but the TaurusDB instance failed to be connected.
Solution
Upgrade the TLS version of the client to TLS v1.2.
If the official JDBC driver mysql-connector/J is used, see Connecting Securely Using SSL for the configuration method.
