Unable to Connect to SQL Azure

I am using ASP.NET 5 on Mac OS X. I am trying to connect to my SQL Azure Database using the following code:

var serverName = "[protected]";
var dbName = "[protected]";
var userId = "[protected]";
var password = "[protected]";
var sql = "SELECT * FROM Customer";

using (var database = new SqlConnection("Server=tcp." + serverName + ".database.windows.net,1433;Database=" + dbName + ";User Id=" + userId + ";Password=" + password + ";Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;Max Pool Size=25"))
{
  database.Open();
  return await database.QueryAsync<T>(sql);                     
}

When this code gets executed, an exception is thrown. The exception details looks like this:

Type:
System.NotImplementedException

Message:
SSL encryption for data sent between client and server is not implemented.

It seems like developers cannot interact with SQL Azure databases from ASP.NET 5 running on Mac OS X. This is a HUGE issue.

Ouch. It doesn’t seem right to say the Entity Framework is cross-platform when connecting to a SQL Azure database isn’t an option.

@paranoid-android So let us assume this works with .NET Core as stated above, then?
