Distributed Application Security
Dear Netters,
We are building a distributed application that will run on a collection of servers (Red Hat). These servers will run custom developed middleware components, and will require a database connection to the MySQL database - running on it's own separate server.
We are trying to stay away from storing passwords in files. There is obviously a way to configure MySQL to only accept connections coming from specific hosts. In our case, application servers will be added to this list.
However, is there an server-to-server authentication that requires no database login? For example, having an application server pass some sort of token to the MySQL server - to be authenticated? I believe, Oracle has something similar...
Any ideas on how to build a secure inter-server communication are much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
