Description:
Connection to locally hosted MySQL / MariaDB development server is no longer possible, due to restriction to a required SSL connection.

How to repeat:
Install any of the *amp environments
Install 8.0.27
create a connection to a locally hosted database.

Suggested fix:
For local development UseSSL is not a necessarily a requirement. Allow local connections without SSL requirement.

Alternatively make the requirement configurable.

(as a teacher using SSL for student projects is not really needed, with update 8.0.27 you broke my practicum)

I know it is possible to manually change the connection to to UseSSL 1 or 0 but this can hardly be done by my students.

Hello John King,

Thank you for the report and feedback.
Imho this is duplicate of Bug #105327, which already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments to the original bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.
