SSL/Secure Connection ...

[Marc Castrechini]

I am definately a noob on this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I need to connect to a MySQL database through a secured port (SSL). This is
all in house so we are going to be using an in house created key for the
connection. We are going to use our standard DB connection code and
libraries so I just want something to handle the SSL stuff outside it.

Does anyone have a reference or link to some low level connection /
handshake samples? I am having trouble finding anything that shows me how
to do this manually.

TIA,
- Castro

Here's the solution, but in C#:

If you convert it into VB.NET (& I doubt you will) then post the 1000's of
lines of code please

I thought that the newer version of MySQL DLL's did this all for you?
It certainly does the handshaking and authentication encrypted.
