 Hi Rich,
 
   Just so I understand you correctly;
 
   1. Are you trying to use the replication features of MySql for
 this communication?
 
   Or
 
   2. Are you talking on the client side application, like PHP,
 Java, Perl...?
 
   How about encrypting the data itself and skipping the whole channel
 issue?
 
 cheers,
 Mikel

Sorry, Mike, been busy and haven't checked the messages.

Just wanted to take records in MySQL and send to SQL Server over the net.
Decided a vpn would be best implementation.

Cheers

TCP/IP Security for Remote Access of MySQL DBs...for newbie

2002-02-04 Thread Rich Fortnum

Hi there.  I have a need to reach into a remote database and write to their
tables from my tables.  Or have them reach into my tables and read from
mine.  Either way, data will travel over the net.  I need that data secure
and I don't know how I can make that secure.  It's not a permissions thing,
because that's straight forward...it's the communications I'm worried about.

Can anybody comment on how remote security can be established between SQL
databases?  

Cheers.

I will have local tables or local processing on my server, that will have to
write to a remote table.  Where can I read up on encryption?  They will have
to translate on their end, but they are on a M$ SQL Server.

Cheers.

How about using a VPN (virtual private network) ?

If you have admin access to both machines, then how about using stunnel
URL:http://www.stunnel.org/ to set up an SSL-encrypted connection
between both machines on the ports on which mysqld communicates?

There's an example for MySQL at URL:http://www.stunnel.org/examples/mysql.html

I want to minimize the network structure on their part because they will
have a minimal DSL system as they are on the outskirts of town.  As well, I
don't want the bulk of the cost for them going to infastructure.  There's
got to be a way of throwing SQL records around without creating a whole new
layer.

Cheers.

Ah, very good.  I'll take a look.  I won't have admin on the far machine,
but will be in touch with their admin there.

Cheers.
