    Description

      WIth MariaDB MaxScale configured for TLS for REST like this:

      [maxscale]
      admin_ssl_key=/usr/local/certs/server-key.pem
      admin_ssl_cert=/usr/local/certs/server-cert.pem
      admin_ssl_ca_cert=/usr/local/certs/ca-cert.pem
      

      Then you get odd errors when trying to connect using client keys:

      $ maxctrl --secure --tls-key=/home/anders/src/blogs/maxscalessl/client-key.pem --tls-cert=/home/anders/src/blogs/maxscalessl/client-cert.pem --tls-ca-cert=/home/anders/src/blogs/maxscalessl/ca-cert.pem list servers
      TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON
          at JSON.stringify (<anonymous>)
          at /snapshot/maxctrl/lib/common.js:0:0
          at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)
      

      Using --tls-verify-server-cert=false makes this work though. And then only the ca-cert is necessary:

      $ maxctrl --secure  --tls-ca-cert=/home/anders/src/blogs/maxscalessl/ca-cert.pem list servers --tls-verify-server-cert=false
      ┌─────────┬──────────────┬───────┬─────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────┬────────────┐
      │ Server  │ Address      │ Port  │ Connections │ State                                     │ GTID       │
      ├─────────┼──────────────┼───────┼─────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────┼────────────┤
      │ server1 │ 192.168.0.11 │ 3306  │ 0           │ Master, Slave of External Server, Running │ 0-1-837377 │
      ├─────────┼──────────────┼───────┼─────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────┼────────────┤
      │ server2 │ 192.168.0.11 │ 10503 │ 0           │ Down                                      │            │
      └─────────┴──────────────┴───────┴─────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────┴────────────┘
      

      Including only the client certificate cause yet another strange error message:

      $ maxctrl --secure --tls-cert=/home/anders/src/blogs/maxscalessl/client-cert.pem --tls-ca-cert=/home/anders/src/blogs/maxscalessl/ca-cert.pem list servers
