Description:
I'm attempting to connect to a ClearDB (cloud-hosted) MySQL DB instance. It works fine without SSL, but when I enable SSL with the ClearDB provided CA, client certificate, and client private key, it crashes immediately when I attempt to connect.

I did find this forum post and ensure that the private key file has the appropriate header and footer:
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,400856,401127#msg-401127

How to repeat:
1) Create a ClearDB account (you can create an Azure hosted 20meg DB for free)
2) Try to setup a connection to the DB in MySQL Workbench, and enable SSL
3) Attempt to connect

Suggested fix:
Fix the SSL connection subsystem.

Can you please try with the latest Workbench version (6.3.6)?
