Headsup on Fedora 3.8.1 with MySQL 8+ on Ubuntu 20LTS+

[Irfan Rahman]

FYI,

Incase you update to Ubuntu 20 LTS or MySQL-Server 8+ to use with FCREPO 3.8.1, 

you will need to replace/update FCREPO's J/MySQL Connector to latest 5/x version.

Changes in MySQL Connector/J 5.1.46 (2018-03-12)

Functionality Added or Changed

• Because Connector/J restricted TLS versions to v1.1 and below by default when connecting to MySQL Community Server 8.0 (which used to be compiled with yaSSL by default and thus supporting only TLS v1.1 and below), it failed to connect to to a MySQL 8.0.4 Community Server (which has been compiled with OpenSSL by default and thus supports TLS v1.2) that was configured to only allow TLS v1.2 connections. TLS v1.2 is now enabled for connections with MySQL Community Server 8.0.4 and later. (Bug #27374581)
