Re: secure connection (SSL/SSH tunneling) with windows client

We're developing a windows software that has to exchange sensitive data with a mySQL server. I read about implementing a SSH tunnel. It works well, although I have not found a free ssh client for windows. Even if I did, it would not be really helpful as we don't want to explain to our users they have to install a third party software that does IP tunneling in order to transmit data securely. Any suggestions? Even if SSL support was added to mySQL, I guess I'd still have to wait for SSL support in the client libs we use on windows (ZeosLib)... Hmm. If you want encryption, somebody has to add it at some point in time... For free SSH clients: you may find links via http://www.openssh.com/ The problem with SSH tunneling is that you need an account on the target machine to open the SSH connection. It has the advantage that once the connection has been established, no further overhead is added (except the actual encryption/decryption). For SSL: if you don't integrate SSL into your product, you can use the stunnel software (http://www.stunnel.org) to tunnel your connections. This works without accounts on the target machines. You may see a significant performance impact, as each new SSL connection requires a cryptograpic handshake. (Every time a connection to the database is opened. If you open it once and leave it open, that's fine. If you are using open-transaction-close cycles, its horrible. In the long run for a complete integration this problem can be tackled with session caching but it is not available for an stunnel solution, AFAIK.) http://www.stunnel.org/examples/mysql.html I am ready to encrypt every sensitive fields in the database, although I am wondering if the username and password will be transferred in plain text. I've seen somewhere that it isn't, but what kind of security/encryption is used and can we consider it safe? Both the designers of the SSH and the TLS/SSL protocols have spent a considerable amount of time to design the protocols to be secure and tamper proof (think of man-in-the-middle attacks) when correctly used and it took more than one iteration to bring it to the state it is now. I would therefore recommend to stay with these solutions.

Re: MySQL on HP/UX 10.20 problem
Installing all prepared tables 010423 11:09:07 Warning: setrlimit couldn't increase number of open files to more than 200 010423 11:09:07 Warning: Changed limits: max_connections: 100 table_cache: 64 scripts/mysql_install_db[284]: 15102 Memory fault(coredump) Installation of grant tables failed! Having searched for other solutions, one recommendation from a MySQL developer was to look at the MySQL Manual for HP/UX and install all necessary patches. My questions/comments are: 1) How many open files does MySQL require? Different people have reported different numbers where MySQL doesn't work. I don't know how much open files are needed. If finally depends on your usage. I have long since increased the number of open files allowed from the system default, so I really cannot say. (Note that for each connection you will need file descriptors, so when you intend to use a lot of parallel connections, you can expect to run into trouble, if you do not increase the limit. I your usage is low, it may work well for you.) 2) Which patches do I need? The person mention DCE but nothing else. I have not found anything on the HP/UX pages saying which patches are required for MySQL. If it is missing in the documentation, it should be corrected. If you check out the mailing list archive, you will see the requirement to install the DCE patches: PHSS_19739 (required), PHSS_20608 (not sure if required, but at least recommended.) Your memory fault problem above is caused by the misssing patches.

The point is, that for reasons I don't see, the target definitions are not propagated into the Makefiles, so there is nothing to be done. To be more precise: In the "mysql configured" innobase, the os/Makefile has: libos_a_OBJECTS = os0proc.o os0shm.o os0sync.o os0thread.o os0file.o This line (and other lines) are missing in the one for which I called automake and autoconf seperately. It seems, that for the inclusion into the mysql distribution things have been changed. (Just like for berkeley-db there is no "make clean" target, so that you cannot successfully "make clean" the mysql package anymore.) Thank you for trying on HP-UX. On Solaris I was able to compile, but obviously I still have overlooked some Posix thread subtleties. Do you have a "standalone" version of innobase available that I can test independent from the mysql distribution?

The compilation might work if you on line 29 of os0thread.c write something like: return((os_thread_id_t) (pthread_self()-field1)); and on line 69 replace the NULL parameter with pthread_attr_default In os0thread.h you should return to the original typedef of os_thread_id_t: typedef unsigned long int os_thread_id_t These are of course just temporary fixes, and I will modify the next version to adhere to strict Posix definitions.

Flags problem 3.23.34a with BDB support/Innobase on HP-UX 10.20
Hi! I am currently trying to compile 3.23.34a coming with BDB support. I have zlib installed in the /usr/local (not normally searched for libraries), so that until now I have [CFLAGS etc ] LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure When enabling --with-berkeley-db, compilation fails, because I have another version of Berkeley DB (2.xx) installed in /usr/local/lib. Reason: The Makefile in sql/ specifies the locations given in LDFLAGS before -L../bdb/build-unix. The full solution would probably be to move around options, so that -L../bdb/build-unix is searched before other paths in any case. (One cannot put LIBS=-L/usr/local/lib, because -lz et al are (correctly) added before the specified contents of LIBS.) Is there any other solution recommended? My platform is HP-UX 10.20 with native compilers.
