x509 proxy certificate Enabling MySQL connection

[marco fulcoli]

Hi *, I am Marco.
Just a question:
I recompiled and installed mysqld server with the ssl support and using the mysql client I log in successfully only specifying --ssl-cert and --ssl-key :
./mysql -h db.mysqld.host.name -u uname --ssl --ssl-cert=/tmp/mycert.pem --ssl-key=/tmp/mykey.pem
but this requires that I type my PEM pass phrase: so it needs an interactive mode. My question is:
It is possible to grant the access on the db-server only looking at the client's credentials stored in the x509 proxy certificate that for example, following the grid philosophy of the gsi globus-security, is created with the grid-proxy-init command?
as if I would log-in just in the following way:


[user@host]$ grid-proxy-init
Your identity: /C=IT/O=ESA/OU=ESRIN/CN=Fulcoli Vincenzo/Email=[e-mail]
Enter GRID pass phrase for this identity:
Creating proxy ......................................................... Done
Your proxy is valid until: Thu Mar 17 22:40:59 2005
[user@host]$ mysql -h db.mysqld.host.name -u uname --ssl --ssl-cert=/tmp/x509up_u500
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 61 to server version: 4.1.10a

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

Thank you in advance
