Answer

You are getting that error because the SSL certificate from the server is not trusted by the client making the request.

What you can do to resolve:

1. Download the AWS RDS Root Certificate
2. Install the Certificate
3. Configure Your Application
4. Verify SSL Connection

> 💡 You can refer to the [SSL/TLS guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/UsingWithRDS.SSL.html) for instructions on encrypting a connection to a DB instance or cluster.
