What is about data security during the server connections with your product?
With connection to intermediate SSH server (when all MySQL commands are forwarded through the secure tunnel) support implemented, Service Center for MySQL is an attractive variant for those who consider security seriously.
I want to connect to the server via SSH tunnel and I have a public-private key pair that works fine with PuTTY. However when I test the connection, I get an error message "Key is broken".
PuTTY uses its own format to store private keys while our products support private keys stored either in OpenSSH or ssh.com formats. To convert keys from one format to another, use the PuTTYgen utility that can be freely downloaded from the PuTTY website.
