For a Windows client computer, if the instance creation with SSL certificate fails, you can select only the Use SSL options check box, and leave the SSL CA file box blank. For more information, go to Microsoft Documentation, Connecting to server using the MySQL CLI over SSL.
What to Do Next
If the proxy client computer has MySQL databases of more than one version, you can configure the version and the database location information. For more information, see Configuring the MySQL Database Version of a Proxy Client Computer.
