title: How to connect to a MySQL Database without SSL
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to a local MySQL DB. </p>
  
  <p>I have this connector:</p>
  
  <pre><code>using(MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection("Database=Studentenverwaltung;Port=3306;Data Source=127.0.0.1;User Id=root;Password=abc123")) 
  {
      try 
      {
          conn.Open();
          Console.WriteLine("Opened!");
          conn.Close();
      }
      catch(Exception e) 
      {
          Console.WriteLine("Cannot open Connection");
          Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I get this Exception:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException (0x80004005): The host 127.0.0.1 does not support SSL connections.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>It seems that it cannot connect to the DB because the DB doesn't support SSL. So is there a way how to connect to the DB whithout SSL?</p>
