This worked for me (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS). From terminal:

1. re-create certificates (datadir is of your choice):

mysql_ssl_rsa_setup --datadir=/data/dir/

2. Add the following to /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf:

ssl-ca=/data/dir/cacert.pem

ssl-cert=/data/dir/server-cert.pem

ssl-key=/data/dir/server-key.pem

3. Restart mysql server: sudo service mysql restart
