Securich - Security Plugin for MySQL http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Securich_-_Security_Plugin_for_MySQL
This Thursday (February 25th, 13:00 UTC - way earlier than usual!), Darren Cassar will present Securich - Security Plugin for MySQL. According to Darren, the author of the plugin, "Securich is an incredibly handy and versatile tool for managing user privileges on MySQL through the use of roles. It basically makes granting and revoking rights a piece of cake, not to mention added security it provides through password expiry and password history, the customization level it permits, the fact that it runs on any MySQL 5.0 or later and it's easily deployable on any official MySQL binary, platform independent." More information here: http://www.securich.com/about.html. For MySQL University sessions, point your browser to this page: http://webmeeting.dimdim.com/portal/JoinForm.action?confKey=mysqluniversity You need a browser with a working Flash plugin. You may register for a Dimdim account, but you don't have to. (Dimdim is the conferencing system we're using for MySQL University sessions. It provides integrated voice streaming, chat, whiteboard, session recording, and more.) MySQL University is a free educational online program for engineers/developers. MySQL University sessions are open to anyone, not just Sun employees. Sessions are recorded (slides and audio), so if you can't attend the live session you can look at the recording anytime after the session. Here's the schedule for the upcoming weeks: * March 4: MySQL Column Databases (Robin Schumacher) * March 11: Improving MySQL Full-Text Search (Kristofer Pettersson) The schedule is not engraved in stone at this point. Please visit http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/MySQL_University#Upcoming_Sessions for the up-to-date list. On that page, you can also find the starting time for many time zones.
