I'm trying to connect to a remote MySQL webserver over a SSH tunnel. I created the tunnel (with key-authentication) using:


ssh -f -L 3307:localhost:3306 user@www.myserver.com -N

When I try to connect to the server with a Python-script I keep getting connection errors.


OperationalError: (OperationalError) (1045, "Access denied for user 'dbuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)") None None


The dbuser has 'dbuser'@'%' rights on the database and I can logon from the cli. When I try connecting to a local database (on port 3306) everything works fine, so it is obviously an SSH tunnel error.

I've fiddled with it for some time, but I'm not getting anywhere. Any suggestions?
