Disabled SSLv3 to combat Poodle now cannot connect to SQL "Connection forcibly closed by remote host"
EDIT 2015-06-19: My initial answer was wrong. See comments for context.
Old (wrong) version of this answer (preserved for context):
Check if your SQL server actually accepts any encryption above SSL3:
- Run the connection client
- Find out what serverport it is connecting to.
- Check with OpenSSL's
s_client
if TLS is supported:openssl s_client -connect Mysqlserver:myserverport -ssl3
openssl s_client -connect Mysqlserver:myserverport -tls1
openssl s_client -connect Mysqlserver:myserverport -tls1_1
openssl s_client -connect Mysqlserver:myserverport -tls1_2
