SSL Encryption for MAC
When attempting to connect to a SSL Encrypted MSSQL server with a Mac an error is generated about SSL encryption not being supported. This may be related to using Mono, as I understand it doesn't support SSL encryption for SQL. If this is the case MS has added a cross-platform SQL client to recent CoreCLR https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2015/11/18/announcing-asp-net-5-release-candidate-1/ but I'm unsure if that is something you could leverage.

Hi Patrick,
Yes we are using Mono and it doesn't support ssl encryption.
I haven't had the time to try the Cross-platform SQL-Client.
We will give it a try and see if we can integrate it in our app

Any news regarding how this is working out? Connection encryption is a requirement for us and we do have some Mac users that would like to use your product. Thanks!
Hi Patrick,
Unfortunately, Mono still doesn't support SSL encryption and we cannot leverage the new CoreCLR cross-platform tool from Microsoft because it would mean redoing the entire app.
We asked Xamarin if supporting the SSL encryption would be possible now that the framework is open source but we don't have an answer yet.
