Why do I need to provide the client with a certificate? I don't have one and I also don't want to create one and distribute it to any computer I might want to connect from using SSL. No browser, no FTP client, no MUA needs an SSL cert, so what's up with MySQL? (At least they all don't bug the user with supplying one. I'm no SSL developer either.) And what is that CA thing at all? I don't have anything like that. I only have a certificate (public and private key). All other SSL-enabled services work fine with that. Is there no easy way to say MySQL "here's your certificate, and now go do something useful"? At least it looks like the MySQL server doesn't require a "CA", as opposed to what the doc says. -- Yves Goergen "LonelyPixel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://beta.unclassified.de – My web laboratory. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
