mysql ssl replication account login works, replication fails

Question

I'm using openssl to test mysql replication ssl in local network. I could login from the slave to the master using mysql command.

 mysql -u repl --host=192.168.0.205  -p --ssl-ca=/etc/mysql/newcerts/ca-cert.pem
 Enter password:

But when I start slave, replication fails with the following log entry.

Slave I/O thread: error connecting to master 'repl@192.168.0.205:3306': Error: 'SSL connection error'  errno: 2026  retry-time: 60  retries: 86400

and
