Passwords / Authentication
I have just started messing around with MySQL and something I find weird is that we connecting using localhost, if I supply the password, it will not authenticate...if I leave the password off, it's fine.If I connect from another machine, it requires the password or it will not authenticate.Is that normal?

Passwords & DBI/DBD
I installed the current stable release of MySQL from RPMs. I used the client and server packages. After installing the server package, the RPM printed a note saying I should run two commands. I only got the first one, which was # ./mysqladmin -u root --password I assume this gave the root user a password. I then downloaded and proceeded to compile the Perl DBI and DBD:mysql packages. The DBI package installed fine after I also installed the "MySQL-devel" RPM. Code:

Where Passwords Are Kept
I am just starting out using mySQL. I created some databases and tables and installed mySQLcc to ease my usage. After about 4 months, I've needed to make some changes that needed root access. I appearantly wrote down the wrong password so I couldn't make any changes. In the process of trying to change the password I think I changed it again and unsynced mySQL and mySQLcc because now I can't access any of the databases with any user. Although I can still open mySQLcc, it can't connect to the database. I get access denied no matter what I do. Is there a way to clear the passwords and start over? Where are the passwords kept? Or do I have to remove mySQL and reinstall it and start over?

Inserting Passwords Into DB
I have a couple of questions concerning the insertion of encrypted passwords into a mysql database (4.0) first, some admins seem to think it's a good idea to feed the password in plaintxt to the db and have the db encrypt and store it. I tend to think this is less secure seeing as there is no seperation between the data and the encrypt/decrypt so therefore encrypt the password beforehand and I want to insert nand retreive it that way. What type should I be using with the store, and what's the best way to store and retrieve it with that type?

Users Passwords
I use the windows mysql connector 3.51 to connect to a mysql database on a linux server. I also have local library on the windows station that supports sha type encryption. What I'd like to do is encrypt the userid and passwords entrys locally with this library and still connect to linux server but have not been able to. What is the default encryption that mysql uses for passwords ? I did read about the password function and it did mention a bit about sha but I'm still unable to match the encryption locally.

Understanding Passwords
1. I know in mySql you need a username and a password to access a database. However, can you set a username and password (or even just a password) to access a table or a row? 2. Is there a way you can set a database so you can only add data? 3. is there a way I can have people access values to a database (php) without using a password? 4. is there a way to set up diffrent users (with diffrent permissions) for accessing mySQL data? 5. Any comments about how I can get alot of people accessing a database, from diffrent websites, with keeping i as secure as possible?

Transferring Passwords
I tried doing a search but did not find the answer I was looking for. I just redesigned the database that I had created a few months ago. I broke my one single table up into multiple tables. My problem is that in my old large table I had a password column that is populated by using Password(). Is there a way for me to transfer the info from that column to my new broken down table set? I did not create a new database when I broke up the large table, I just built my new tables around it so they are all stored in the same database. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not. Is it possible for me to just copy and paste the info from one of the fields into the new table? Or will that break the encryption?

Encoding Passwords In MySQL
I am developing a database application in which I store usernames and passwords. Naturally I want to store the passwords in an encrypted form. However, just like you see in many web applications, I want to be able to email the users password back to them should they forget their old password. I looked at how to store the password data in MySQL and they recommend using MD5 or SHA. Both of these appear to be one way encryption routines. IOW once I encrypt and store the users password there is no way to unencrypt it. How can I store passwords in my SQL database such that I can convert them back to plain text when the user requests them?

If I remove the password, I can connect no problem.

Mod_auth_mysql Or Mysql Usernames And Passwords

Passwords, Permissions, And Blank Users
I have Apache 2 server, PHP5, and the latest MySQL installed on my system. I'm currently reading PHP and MySQL for Dummies (I told you I was a newbie) and trying to work through a few of the examples.One thing I noticed when I looked at the "users" table in the "mysql" database is a blank user with all privileges on localhost. I deleted that entry, set a password for my "root" account, and created another account with a non-blank password. The problem I am having is that I am trying to connect to the database as "root" with a blank password, and it's still working. I then tried a blank user, and it worked. I tried a random assortment of letters and numbers, and it worked.

Security For Shared Server.xml Passwords
I have an ISP that has the server.xml in a shared environment. The server.xml file is where my password is available for database access under connection pooling. I really would like to use connection pooling. Does anyone know how I can protect my password from being viewed by others using the same server.xml file? I cannot get the administrator to change the protection of the file because others in the shared environment need to be able to view it.

PASSWORD() Function :: Not Matching Passwords
I'm writing a login.php script for my web site and am encountering some problems matching the password of the user logging in. Here's some of my code where I believe the problem to be: $query = "SELECT user_id, first_name FROM users WHERE username='$u' AND password=PASSWORD('$p')"; echo($query); $result = mysql_query ($query); $row = mysql_fetch_array ($result, MYSQL_NUM); if ($row) { // Start the session, register the values & redirect. session_start(); $_SESSION['first_name'] = $row[1]; $_SESSION['user_id'] = $row[0]; header ("Location: [url]http://"[/url]; . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "/loggedin.php"); exit(); } else { $message = '<p>The username and password entered do not match those on file.</p>'; } mysql_close(); } else { $message .= '<p>Please try again.</p>'; } } I keep getting my error message "The username and password entered do not match those on file" listed above in the conditional. The server doing my hosting is running MySQL 4.1.14 - standard. The test login script that is getting passed prints out as follows: SELECT user_id, first_name FROM users WHERE username='test' AND password=PASSWORD('test1') Am I doing something wrong with the PASSWORD() function?

How To Log Authentication Failures ONLY?
I am trying to figure out how I can log _only_ authentication failures with mysql. It appears to me, that I can only either log all queries and mysqld errors, or only mysqld errors? I have tried in my.cnf: [mysqld] log = /var/log/mysql/access.log log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log log_warnings = 1 But this logs every single query made, which I don't want, as it fills up the log files too much. If I do only [mysqld] log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log log_warnings = 1 or... [mysqld] log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log log_warnings = 2 ... then I get only mysqld errors, but nothing related to authentication failures. Is there a way to configure this?

Try to get in w/SQLyog from W2K locally ... intitial connection takes ~20 seconds. Then everything screaming fast. Web Server (W03) attempts to connect via MyODBC ... same result ... initial connection takes ~20 seconds. Subsequent queries screaming fast. VNC into the box at any time ... everything fast.

Binary Column Types / Hashed Passwords

During user creation and authentication - i'm presenting the db with a hashed password value. When a hashed password is stored in a db - how should it appear in the table? In the MySQL table I'm using to store username and passwords, it appears as system.byte[]. The data type is defined as varchar(16), binary. The field is not behaving as it should during authentication - as long at I enter a valid username, the system authenticates me despite a correct or incorrect password value. Can anyone help me to define the appropriate column type? My application works fine w/ MS SQL but fails w/ MySql. In MS SQL the field is described as:[PWD] [binary] (16) NULL
