Error using SSL in Connector/ODBC. SSL works fine with Workbench.

Hi, I am able to use the MySQL Connector/ODBC 8 for accessing data on my database, but when I try to enable SSL (by entering a value for SSL CA File) and click Test, I receive the error:
"Connection Failed
[MySQL][ODBC 8.0(w) Driver]SSL Connection error: error:1416F086:SSL routines:tls_process_server_certificate verify failed:"

I am able to connect fine with MySQL Workbench over SSL, with the same settings. I have verified it is SSL several ways.

I have used the previous versions of the ODBC connector for a long time with SSL. I recently moved our database to a new server, used new MySQL 8, made new users, etc. So I set up my access with Workbench again, works well. Then I tried installing the new Connector/ODBC 8 and making a new Data Source, but I receive the error above.

What is going wrong? Why does it work with Workbench but not the Connector/ODBC?

I wish I could upload some screenshots but looks like I can't so I will list out the relevant settings.

Client OS: Windows 10
MySQL server version: 8.0.19
MySQL Connector/ODBC version: 8.0.19
MySQL Workbench version: 6.3

Successful settings for SSL connection in Workbench:
Connection Method: Standard (TCP/IP)
Hostname: xx.yyy.95.21
Port: 3306
Username: michaelk, Password: ****
Use SSL: Require
SSL CA File: D:\...\ca-cert.pem

Successful settings for non-SSL connection in Connector/ODBC
TCP/IP Server: xx.yyy.95.21
Port: 3306
User: michaelk, Password: ****

Unsuccessful settings for SSL connection in Connector/ODBC
[Same as above]
SSL CA File: D:\...\ca-cert.pem

I have also tried adding the SSL Key (client key) and SSL Certificate (client cert) fields, but no luck.

Any help is appreciated
