Anyone have any info. on using jdbc,SSL, and MySQL? I need a secure connection
between my application (not applet) and a MySql database. Using jdk v1.3, JCE
v1.2.1, and latest version of MySql.
I can't help you with SSL, but can tell you of positive experience with
SSH (Secure Shell) and MySQL connections. SSH has a "port forwarding"
feature that allows a remote MySQL server appear to be running on your
local machine. The connection is authenticated and data transfers are
private. See for example http://www.ssh.com/.
We use version 1 of the protocol. I tend to consider ssh an open source
product, but I believe the specifics of the license do not make it free
for all uses.
