Can connect from mysql cli, but not from node-mysql2

I’ve been getting a “host not allowed to connect error” that completely baffles me, as connecting from the mysql command line interface using the same parameters works fine. I boiled it down to the simplest possible setup for testing:

var mysql = require("mysql2");

var db = mysql.createConnection({
    "database": "database",
    "user": "user",
    "password": "xxxxxxx",
    "host": "yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy",
    "insecureAuth":true,
    "debug":true,
    "ssl": {
        "rejectUnauthorized":false
    }
});

db.connect();
db.query("SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 1", function(err, res) {});
db.end();

The insecureAuth and ssl options were meant to help eliminate server-side issues. The same error occurs with or without them.

Running this with node test.js results in:

0 undefined ==> Connection#handshakeInit(0,Error,70)

However if I do:

$ mysql -u user -p -h yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy --database database
Enter password:

I connect successfully and am able to run queries per the permissions configured on the mysql server.

The server is not configured to require/use SSL. It is running on the standard (3306) port and listening on the external interface, as the cli results indicate.

Any thoughts? I’m on a tight deadline here so please let me know if you need anything else.
