MySQL Workbench returning SSH tunnel error
Linode
Linode Staff
I'm trying to connect to a MySQL database on my Ubuntu 20.04 server using PuTTy. Port 22 is open and listening for SSH, and I can connect normally but using MySQL Workbench to connect returns the error:
Authentication error: unhandled exception caught in tunnel manager, please refer to the logs for details
What could be causing this error and what are my next steps for resolving it?

Taking a quick look, it seems like the first thing you'll want to check is that TCPForwarding is enabled on your Linode's sshd config. These links may prove useful.
