To find out whether your server(s) support(s) or not, you need to check
the corresponding variables. All this is described in the manual,
section "5.9.7. Using Secure Connections":
I still think that the client should actually inform me when I select
"use SSL" and it doesn't.
By some kind of information / warning after you had selected that
button, the client tried, and the connsection did not get established.
Yes, I understand that desire.
According to your description below, where you got "Could not connect
...", you are given this warning if establishing the connection fails.
So the remaining case is a client trying to connect to a server which
does not support SSL, or does not have it switched on (lacks a certificate).
Please check the bugs database for this, and submit a "feature request"
if none such is present yet.
Now I think I managed to make MySQL 5 accept SSL connections, at least
that have_openssl variable has turned from DISABLED to YES. I added an
AIUI, this shows your server does support SSL, and you now successfully
switched it on.
SSL certificate to the my.cnf file. But now I can only connect to the
server from Query Browser without the SSL checkbox. When it's checked,
it says "Could not connect to the specified instance. MySQL Error Number
0" The ping works fine, without SSL I can connect to the server.
I am no SSL expert, but AIUI you need client and server to use the same
(or at least somehow related) certificates.
Please go back to the manual section I referred to, AFAIR it contains a
description of this requirement.

Joerg
