How to make mysql connection that requires CA-CERT with sqlalchemy or SQLObject

Question

I would like to connect to a MySQL database that requires ca-cert. I can do it with MySQLdb like below:

MySQLdb.connect(host = self.host,
                port = self.port,
                unix_socket = self.unix_socket,
                user = self.user,                                
                passwd = self.passwd,
                db = self.db,
                ssl = { 'cert': self.sslcert,
                        'key': self.sslkey,
                         'ca': self.sslca } 

How do I do the same think in SQLAlchemy or SQLObject?

Thanks, peter

Answer 1

To use SSL certs with SQLAlchemy and MySQLdb, use the following python code:

db_connect_string='mysql://<user>:<pswd>@<db server>:3306/<database>'
ssl_args = {'ssl': {'cert':'/path/to/client-cert', 
                     'key':'/path/to/client-key', 
                      'ca':'/path/to/ca-cert'}}

create_engine(db_connect_string, connect_args=ssl_args)
