Thanks, John, for your rapid response and advice. I'm able to do the
remote connection over SSL now.
However, I did not try the "connect_options" method based on your
"inlined into the DSN" comment and reading up on the Rose::DB and DBI
docs. The SSL options DO need to be inlined into the DSN so I took a
different tack. Essentially, I created a db handle using DBI, used the
dbh method for my Rose::DB object to set the object'd dbh to the one I
created, and then passed this Rose::DB object to by RDBO object when
creating it.
Once I got my head around how Rose::DB and Rose::DB::Object interact, it
was very simple to do this. Thanks!
For those who want to do this, here's what I had to do (including the
mySQL and DBD steps):
1. Get a mySQL server and client binary that supports SSL. I first
thought that all I needed to do was get a client that supports SSL, but
it turns out you need to install the server binary along with the client
binary to get the SSL support. Those wiser than I might be able to
figure out how to compile a mySQL client binary from the sources, but
the easiest path for me was to grab the latest stable mySQL binaries.
That was 5.0.45 in my case. These have SSL capability built in. To
enable the SSL in the server, you need to start the server with the ssl
parameter set. See mySQL documentation for details.
2. Compile DBD::mysql with SSL support. See DBD::mysql docs for details.
This is pretty straitforward.
3. Register the remote database in your Rose::DB object, e.g:
package My::RoseDB;
use strict;
use base 'Rose::DB';
# Use a private registry for this class
__PACKAGE__->use_private_registry;
# Set the default domain and type
__PACKAGE__->default_domain('domain');
__PACKAGE__->default_type('type');
# Register the data sources
__PACKAGE__->register_db(
domain => 'mirror',
type => 'dbtype',
driver => 'mysql',
database => 'databasename',
host => '192.168.2.3',
username => 'username',
password => 'password',
);
1;
4. Create your connection to the database using DBI, assign that db
handle to your Rose::DB object, use that Rose::DB object when creating
your RDBO object:
use DBI;
use My::RoseDB;
use My::RDBO;
my $dsn =
"DBI:mysql:databasename;host=192.168.2.3;mysql_ssl=1;mysql_ssl_client_key=KEYFILE;mysql_ssl_client_cert=CERTFILE;mysql_ssl_ca_file=CAFILE";
my $user = 'username';
my $password = 'password';
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password, {'RaiseError' =>
1}) or die "Can't connect to database: $DBI::errstr\n";
my $db = My::RoseDB->new(domain=>'mirror',type=>'dbtype');
$db->dbh($dbh);
my $mirror = My::RDBO->new(db=> $db);
and away you go. :-)
Take care,
Kurt Hansen
