Some drivers will need to be placed in the endorsed
folder as they will end up loading native libraries
which can access other code.  I'm not sure where the
security file you would need to edit to not make this
a requirement is if one even exists.  My experience
with the MS SQL (not MySQL) driver is it needs to be
in this directory to work.  You can change the
location of this directory using switches if you need
it to be some where else for file and drive setup
reasons.
