PCS with MySQL configured to require secure transport?

[ea1222]

We are attempting to set up PCS to work with MySQL. All has gone well and it works fine with "require_secure_transport" turned off.
However, we need to use encryption between MySQL and any external clients. We have enabled "require_secure_transport" in MySQL and now we cannot create any database manager connections from PCS. When attempting to test the connection I receive the following error in PCS:
"Unable to connect to database.
Connections using insecure transport are prohibited while --require_secure_transport=ON".

Is there a workaround?
