The upcoming June 2020 release on June 9th, 2020 will include completely rewritten and retested connect options. I'm pretty sure your issue will be addressed in that version. I'm therefore closing this issue for now. If you find that the June 2020 release does not fix it, feel free to reopen this issue and we can have a look at it.
