The proper termination of a cable shield is ALWAYS the chassis. It's 
possible to solder to DB15 and DB9 shells, but it can be a bit 
tricky. You must first find a point where a wire to the shell will 
allow the connector cover to fit (usually at a corner), tin that 
point (and perhaps scrape non-solderable coating from it) and leave 
some solder on it, shape the shield wire carefully to fit with the 
connector cover, then solder it.
