Tunneling is used for many things. One example is creating a tunnel to access your database on the Accelerator from your machine. This is using MySQL as an example to prove that tunneling is working successfully.

1. Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
   • Change the following parameters to “Yes”:

AllowTcpForwarding yes
GatewayPorts yes

1. restart SSH

# svcadm restart svc:/network/ssh:default

1. Checking to ensure that SSH properly restarted:

# svcs -a | grep -i ssh
online 21:31:42 svc:/network/ssh:default

The “21:31:42” is the time at which it last changed state, in this case, the time at which we restarted it.

1. Make sure the MySQL Server is configured to accept non-localhost connections. Edit /opt/local/etc/my.cnf
   • Make sure the following line is commented out (precede with a #)

#skip-networking

1. Restart MySQL

mysqladmin shutdown -u root -p

1. First lets create the tunnel from local:3307 to remote:3306
   1. ssh -L3307:127.0.0.1:3306 -p 22 -N -t -x user@myhost.com
2. Then lets see if we can connect to the MySQL database on our Accelerator
   1. mysql -u USER -pPASSWORD -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3307
