As to the OP's motivations for having such a setup, it is very useful,
when one is trying to create forms that will run from a remote file
server, to be able to connect from OOo to a remote mysql server via a
secure connection. Unfortunately, this is not, as I understand it,
supported in OOo without portforwarding magic (and I haven't tried it so
don't quote me as saying it works).
How do you rate the importance of SSL for the new native MySQL driver
for OpenOffice.org:
- do you think 1%, 5%, 10%, 20% or even more users will want to add
extra security to their remote MySQL?
- does remote MySQL mean "somewhere in the hostile internet" or does
it mean "somewhere in my (secured) intranet"?
- do you think the SSL configuration is easier than a SSH tunnel?
- does your IT forbit non-secure remote connections?
To me it sounds a bit like a goodie. The initial focus should be on
getting out a working driver out at all. Basic query and connect should
work flawless. Once we have achieved that we can have a look at SSL.
However, I'm new to OOo. I don't know much about the typical usage
scenarios and therefore I could be wrong.
