Background
SSL connect:
The user can use a certificate to verify the identity of the server, which requires the driver to check the hostname.
Description
If the connection uses IP addresses instead of the hostname, the verification of the host fails for ODBC as well as IMPORT/EXPORT FROM/INTO EXA.
Workaround
Use hostnames instead of IP addresses for server verification.
Fix
Host verification for IP addresses works as expected.
