So this is what I’ve found. I forgot to mention that I’m using the Boundary Desktop client.
Using Boundary Desktop 1.4.2 and below, everything works as expected and I can connect to the target database using proxying.
With versions 1.4.3 and above, I get the dreaded:
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 2
Would that be because I’m using Boundary 0.7.5 on the controllers and workers and the Boundary Desktop version 1.4.3 and above isn’t compatible with 0.7.5?
I’d love to move everything to latest, but as I’ve mentioned before, the plugins exec_dir issue keeps me from doing that.
Let me know if more if you need more input from my side.
Thanks
