Secure connection between SQLeo and MariaDB

    I am very new to SQL, and find SQLeo a very useful tool. I run mariaDB (v5) on a SynologyDS.

    MariaDB, via phpmyadmin, can demand that login connections are done through SSL, or other secure systems.

    Does SQLeo have a mechanism to initiate a secure link?
    At the moment, I just use SQLeo in the same physical location as the server, but I soon want to open the data up to other users who are not on-site, and the data is potentially sensitive (and definitely should be treated as such).

    Thanks,
    David Fong.

    Hello,
    Thank you for using SQLeo.

    There nothing in SQLeo to perform secured connections, but you can use what is provided by MariaDB like described here:

    Yes SQLeo currently doesn't perform secure connections.
    Basically you need to establish ssh tunnel between your local and remote machine and then use local from SQLeo
    See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/859218/can-i-ssh-to-mysql-with-the-gui-tools
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1968293/connect-to-remote-mysql-database-through-ssh-using-java

    @Pascal - In the second link above, there is an example where ssh tunnelling can be done in Java using http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/ , Do you think we can try to integrate this library in SQLeo and support ssh ? I still have doubt if it still works as 1) it may need client side security certificate for establishing trust 2) client's firewall should unblock the port forwarding etc..

      May be latter ...
      When we will have many developers working in the project
      and at the condition of keeping the jar file small
