Linux PC connects to server using an Stunnel client service Linux PC acts as an SQL server creating a secure connection with an Stunnel server service that PULLS SQL server data from the Linux PC
Hi,
No, it doesn't change things.
But doesn't actually pull, it is just a..., yes, tunnel :), providing the other end to pull data on a secure channel.
So:
SQL server listening on X port
Stunnel server service listening on Y port
When Stunnel receive connections on its Y port, it just sends the plain text incomming data to the X port of the SQL server and then this replies back to Stunnel that sends back the data by the secure channel to the other end, being it an Stunnel client service or another application that connected securely to Stunnel server.
