Problems Securing Database Connection Over SSL
Silly mistake. I forgot to update AppBehaviors.php to the newest release after moving the attributes logic to db.php:

$dbConnection = new DbConnection();

$dbConnection-&gt;connectionString = $this-&gt;_processConnectionString();
$dbConnection-&gt;emulatePrepare   = true;
$dbConnection-&gt;username         = craft()-&gt;config-&gt;get('user', ConfigFile::Db);
$dbConnection-&gt;password         = craft()-&gt;config-&gt;get('password', ConfigFile::Db);
$dbConnection-&gt;charset          = craft()-&gt;config-&gt;get('charset', ConfigFile::Db);
$dbConnection-&gt;tablePrefix      = $dbConnection-&gt;getNormalizedTablePrefix();
$dbConnection-&gt;driverMap        = array('mysql' =&gt; 'Craft\MysqlSchema');

// Support for Yii's $initSQLs
if ($initSQLs = craft()-&gt;config-&gt;get('initSQLs', ConfigFile::Db))
{
    $dbConnection-&gt;initSQLs = $initSQLs;
}
// See if we have any extra PDO attributes passed in.
if ($attributes = craft()-&gt;config-&gt;get('attributes', ConfigFile::Db))
{
    $dbConnection-&gt;attributes = $attributes;
}

$dbConnection-&gt;init();


After adding the new lines of code, I was able to connect :)
