Today I found the same problem. I downloaded Workbench. There are some settings for workbench to connect database, as follows: 1.select tab SSL , select option 'no' in "Use SSL". 2. select tab advanced, select in Use the ole authentication Protocol. after that Workbench working. and follow tai1001' post. That are all I found all steps that work.
