It is possible to setup SSL for domain name in MYSQL database.
By default, MySQL is configured to only accept local connections. If you need to allow remote connections, it is important to do so securely.
So here is the demonstrate to configure MySQL on Ubuntu 16.04 to accept remote connections with SSL/TLS encryption.
might help you
thanks

I have a question about configuring or setting up a MySQL database for connecting outside my Windows VPS.
How do I need to configure my VPS for it and how do I need to configure the MySQL database?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
If you are looking to connect to a MySQL server that is located on a VPS or other type of dedicated server then you most likely need to open the ports on the server.
The default MySQL port is 3306 and a guide to opening ports on a server can be found here: https://www.solvps.com/blog/how-to-open-ports-on-windows-server-vps-or-dedicated-server/
To access MySQL databases outside your Windows VPS, you'll need to allow Remote Connection to MySQL Server. Probably, this tutorial should help you.

Once MySQL server is configured for Remote Connections, open MySQL port 3306 from Windows firewall.
Heroku supports no database other than PostgreSQL, but my question is here regarding remote database. Can a Heroku instance running Rails connect to a remote database connection? To be more specific, the remote database connection of MySQL resides at Amazon RDS.
If it's not possible at all, can I use remote database through HTTP requests generated by Rails code?

Yes
To be more specific, the remote database connection of MySQL resides
at Amazon RDS.
Yes. See:
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ruby-database-provisioning
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/amazon-rds#configuring-a-heroku-ruby-app-to-use-a-mysql-rds-instance
You must grant Heroku dynos access to your RDS instance. The recommended way to do this is to configure the RDS instance to only accept SSL-encrypted connections from authorized users and configure the security group for your instance to permit ingress from all IPs, eg 0.0.0.0/0.
i have installed MySQL server with developer default, I can connect to database with local application, How ever i am not able to connect to database from other system on the network it saying unable to reach database. I access database with root user and password
please give me steps to configure my MySQL server so that i can access database from any system in my network
You will have to create a user allowing him to connect from any host ('user'#'%') and use that user to connect to your MySQL server machine. Also, you'll have to set bind-address of your MySQL configuration to your server machine's IP.
Check the following article. Although it is for Linux environment, you can get the general idea of what is to be done.

I have two servers running on Ubuntu. Server 1 only has MySQL installed and acts as an database. Server 2 is a Apache web server. The database is internal and so as the Apache server and they can ping each other but the database server is not accessible via the internet. I can telnet into the database server from the Apache but I can not connect to the database via PHPMyAdmin.
So the question is how I can configure this to work. I also don't want to allow access to the whole server (databases), access only via user name and password specified.
Thanks!
Define your user as user#[hostip-of-Php-myadmin-server] and you should be set?
It was a BIND issue, it's all fixed now.
We have a fairly simple M$ Access db, split into front-end (forms, reports, etc.) and back-end (tables). Currently looking for a way to get the tables with all the critical data off of one desktop and hopefully into a MySQL database on our web host, and be able to connect to it from multiple PCs (still probably only one or two people connecting to it at any give time), and eventually, hopefully, migrate to a web application when time allows. Many of the examples I've read about people connecting an Access db front-end to a MySQL back-end seem to imply that they are doing so on a LAN, probably behind a firewall, etc.
Is it at all safe to connect a M$ Access front-end to a MySQL backend when that mysql server is running on a remote web host? Does the ODBC connector take care of encryption?
TIA,
Monte
You could use putty to mount a ssh tunnel to your mysql server and redirect the remote mysql port to your machine.
Using putty is pretty straightforward:
Give it your mysql server dns name as the host and go to "Connection/SSH/Tunnels", there you define the local port to connect in the "Source Port" field (e.g. 3307).
In the the "Destination" field put the dns name of your mysql server followed by a colon and the port mysqld is running in (e.g. mysql.example.org:3306).
Save this as a profile then connect and the remote mysql port will be availbable locally on port 3307.
Just make sure you restrict the user because by default he will have an ssh shell on the server.
Setting up key authentication would also be practical because you won't have to enter a password to connect to the server (but be sure to protect your key on disk by encrypting it).
EDIT: It seems the mysql odbc connector support ssl, you could use that too but I'd personnally choose to use SSH anyway as you will have it already on your mysql server.
