Description:
mysql command line client (and likely error reporting via API, too) is totally useless because it tells us nothing:

"
$ mysql -u arekm -p -h somehost
Enter password:
ERROR 2026 (HY000): SSL connection error
"

openssl library is perfectly capable of delivering proper, detailed error message. mysql library unfortunately doesn't use that capability for error reporting.

That's very bad since user has to guess what "SSL connection error" means.

How to repeat:
Connect via SSL to some mysql server with wrong cert (or any other ssl related failure) to get SSL connection error.

Suggested fix:
Make vio/rviosslfactories.c:report_errors() report error also when not in debug mode?

Or better report proper error in form:
"ERROR 2026 (HY000): SSL connection error: ERROR STRING FROM SSL LIBRARY"

which would tell us what the real problem is.

Thank you for the report.
