    Description

      What I want:

      Upgrade MariaDB Connector/Python from version 1.0.1 to any more recent versions.

      Problem:

      I get an error when using mariadb.connect():

      SSL connection error: self signed certificate
      

      What I did:
      Because of some technical limitations, I have to compile and install MariaDB Connector/Python on a build machine and then move the resulting files to the machine that runs the Python code.
      I have been following these instructions:
      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/about-mariadb-connector-odbc/#installing-mariadb-connectorodbc-on-debianubuntu

      With 1.0.1 I can connect with TLS with this code:

      [truncated]
          ssl = { 'ssl_ca': ca_path }
       
       
              conn = mariadb.connect(
                  user = user,
                  password = pwd,
                  host = host,
                  port = port,
                  database = db_name,
                  ssl = ssl
              )
      [truncated]
      

      With 1.0.2 and above, that code returns this error:

          ssl = ssl
      TypeError: an integer is required (got type dict)
      

      This is easily fixable with this code:

              conn = mariadb.connect(
                  user = user,
                  password = pwd,
                  host = host,
                  port = port,
                  database = db_name,
                  ssl_ca = ca_path,
              )
      

      But then, we get a new error, which is what I need help with:

      SSL connection error: self signed certificate
      

      I don't know what makes this error show up from version 1.0.1 to 1.0.2, and I can't find relevant information on the internet.

      Some additional info:
