Secure connection with SSL (2 replies)

Hi all,

I need to establish a secure connection with MySQL database. Til this time I used to connect only with unsecured string, that could have been seen with any program listening to ports. How to establish a secure connection with SSL?

My connection string is:

constr="CertificateFile=C:\ThawteCA;Host={0};UserName={1};Password={2};Database={3};SSL Mode=VerifyFull"

{0}=server_domain
{1}=username
{2}=database_pwd
{3}=database_name

Is this enough to hide usernames, passwords from listening programs?

regards,

mk
