"SSL connection error: unknown error number QMYSQL: Unable to connect"

@SGaist
I think so.
Did I misunderstood?

Yes, I wrote that you should add the path to the PATH environment variable. Not create a new one.

By the way, the Qt maintenance tool offers to download a pre-built version of OpenSSL, I would recommend using that one.

eed understand if the library is loaded,
(This is usually test that I use for 5.15)

I get a positive result for loading the library:

true "OpenSSL 3.0.7 1 Nov 2022" "OpenSSL 3.2.0 23 Nov 2023

@SGaist
I understood this time and added

C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64

as well as

C:\Qt\Tools\OpenSSLv3\Win_x64

to the Path variable.
That gave no result.

Please check on Azure what is the minimum version of TLS supported. Some versions es 1.0 or 1.1 are declared by Microsoft deprecated.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/tls-support

I think the mistage is tls version, in the documentation of driver
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/sql-driver.html#qmysql
we have the flag MYSQL_OPT_TLS_VERSION
( I never tested is only an idea)

[DeadSo0ul]

@piervalli
The current tls version is 1.2 with an option to enable 1.3

How can I set that MYSQL_OPT_TLS_VERSION to 1.2 or possibly 1.3

[piervalli]

@DeadSo0ul

Try with

  db.setConnectOptions(QLatin1String("MYSQL_OPT_TLS_VERSION=TLSv1.2"))

Before db.open()

[DeadSo0ul]

Hi @piervalli
I tried adding db.setConnectOptions(QLatin1String("MYSQL_OPT_TLS_VERSION=TLSv1.2"));
I get these two errors:
QMYSQLDriver::open: Illegal connect option value 'MYSQL_OPT_TLS_VERSION=TLSv1.2'
and
QSqlError("2026", "QMYSQL: Unable to connect", "SSL connection error: unknown error number")

I will provide the whole .cpp file in case I am doing something wrong

#include "databasemanager.hpp"
#include <QSslSocket>
DatabaseManager::DatabaseManager() {

}

QSqlDatabase DatabaseManager::getDatabase() {
    return db;
}

void DatabaseManager::openConnection() {
    db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
    db.setHostName("name.mysql.database.azure.com");
    db.setPort(3306);  // Default MySQL port
    db.setDatabaseName("db");
    db.setUserName("admin");
    db.setPassword("admin");
    db.setConnectOptions(QLatin1String("MYSQL_OPT_TLS_VERSION=TLSv1.2"));

    if (db.open() && db.isOpen()) {
        qDebug() << "Database opened successfully";
    } else {
        // Handle connection error
        qDebug() << "Database failed to open";
        qDebug() << db.lastError();
        qDebug() << QSslSocket::supportsSsl() <<QSslSocket::sslLibraryBuildVersionString() << QSslSocket::sslLibraryVersionString();


    }
}

void DatabaseManager::closeConnection() {
    db.close();
}

Hi sometimes those setConnectionOptions() need a trailling semicolon, maybe try:

db.setConnectOptions("MYSQL_OPT_TLS_VERSION=TLSv1.2;");

[DeadSo0ul]

@hskoglund
I think I have done that in the provided code. Just before opening the database.

Update:
The mistake was totally mine.
I was using Qt version 6.5.1. I updated to 6.6.1 and everything worked out.
Thanks everyone for helping!
