How to connect without Certificates ?

I would like to connect to a mysql Server using MyDAC and MySSLIOHANDLER, but with no CA and no client certificate probably without any kind of storage.Briefly the figure, MyConnection with MySSLIohandler direct to MySQL server, just the same way I connect it with MyDAC when choosing mpSSL in option without providing any certificates but using SBridge as a replacement for the external libraries of openSSL . Is that possible ? Please advice.
Thank you very much in advance.

Authentication of the other side of the connection is one of security connection principles. Therefore client must authenticate server on connect.
A CA certificate is used to authenticate the server through SSL. This certificate cannot be missing as it is at variance with one of SSL principles. And so you should specify CA certificate in SecureBridge.
