Random Password Vs. User Created Password For Site Login
Are there any security issues or other concerns that make one preferable? The client is pushing for user created passwords. I'm mapping out the basic functionality and front-end for a MySQL/PHP back-end that will be completed by a third party. I'm a novice to MySQL but familiar with PHP and their interaction. Mainly looking for anything to support one method over the other.

Access Denied For User: 'user@172.22.0.1' (Using Password: YES)
I am currently running two servers one with Tomcat and the other with MySQL. They are both in different Windows domains and on different network segments. I have the following users on the MySQL server: user@localhost user@% I am getting a VERRRY SLOOOW connection between the two machines so I thought I'd add a user just for the Tomcat server. The IP address of the Tomcat server is 172.22.0.1 so naturally the user would be 'user@172.22.0.1' When I added this user I got the following error Access denied for user: 'user@172.22.0.1' (Using password: YES) Any ideas on what I can do to remedy the situation?

DB User/password Issues
I've looked on google and searched through these forum pages for issues similar to mine only to find no answer to people who have posed a similar question so I'm hoping I catch someone who can help me with this one. My MySQL will only allow me to connect to my DBs through the web if and only if my user password is set to blank. When using MySQL Administrator, I can have my root password set and log into that just fine but when I try to use root -> pw in say my phpmyadmin script, I get access denied errors. BUT, when i change my root password to blank (testing purposes only), the page loads just fine. The same results occur when i create a test user, the test username can only connect if the password is blank. If one is set, I get those access denied errors.

User Password Corrupted
Every now and then one of my users passwords gets corrupted in the database and I have no Idea why this happens. When the user registers I store the password like so: encode($user_password,$encryption_key) I use decode when they log in to verify and match. Like I said every now and then their password gets turned into garbage characters. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Changing Password As User
I get an "ERROR 1133 (42000): Can't find any matching row in the user table " when I try to change my own password as a logged in user. According to the manual it should be SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('newpass'); is this due to the wildcards in my allowed host? Or is the syntax different from what is in the manual? My server version is 4.1.14, client programms seems unimportant, the error stays the same with matching mysql commandline client, perl DBI or mysql querybrowser.

Setting User Password
I am having a problem getting mysql to recognize my user password. Currently I am doing everything on 'localhost' [CASE] My root password works; I have access and can create databases as root. I used MySql Administrator to create a user 'bill' and gave that user a password (billpw) different from root and applied most of the global privileges including 'CREATE'. I can open mysql with root and rootpw. As well, I can open mysql with user 'bill' and rootpw but NOT with billpw. [bill@CASE ~]$ mysql -u bill -p Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'bill'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Even when I open Mysql with bill rootpw, I get the following: mysql> CREATE DATABASE menagerie; ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'menagerie' I can CREATE the DATABASE as root. I have read Section 5.7, “The MySQL Access Privilege System” and nothing seems to apply -- but that could just be newbie ignorance. Do I have some Linux permission problem related to MySql or have I done something wrong when creating my user ? How can I check for the error?

Change The Root User Password
I have just set a password for the root user for logging into MySQL which all works fine by typing: mysql -u root -p A prompt appears asking me for my password which I enter and the usual welcome message appears.I initally set my root user password by typing at command line: mysqladmin -u root password "new password" ("new password" being the password I chose) This all worked ok. However I would like to know how to I change the password for the root user, and how would I also change the password for users that I set up (I assume it would be a similar way)? I am currently running all on my local machine (hence no need to use "-h" anywhere in the login procedure) and running on windows 2000.

Mysql.user.password In Session
I have set up a few users in the mysql Privileges and with my php pages I have them log in with a form (login.php) to access the next page (mainpage1.php) that generates info from the mysql db.I know it is not really secure to just have the plain text password stored as a $_SESSION['pw'] as I have now. but how should I store it in a Session to be used in other pages without the user having to enter it in each time the page wants to go to the db? Or can we store the $Link in a session? or somehow have it remember that the user is connected?as if I sha1() the password how do I get it back into a format that mysql recognizes?What is the best way of doing this?

Can I Set Database User Password When No Root Pw Is Set
I have installed PHPBB MediaWiki and SugarCRM on Ubuntu Server LAMP. I initially tried to set the root password on install and then could not log back in. After reinstall this is what I did for a new non root user. root@invest:~# mysql -V mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.38, for pc-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2 grant CREATE,INSERT,DELETE,UPDATE,SELECT on pauldb.* to paul@localhost; set password for paul = password('mysecretpassword'); flush privileges; exit; Then when i go to login with this user I can't. I have not set a password for root because the same thing happened when I tried to set root pw immediately after install of the database. This time I am trying to work out the access issue with a new user i have created. This way I still have access since and I won't have to reinstall the db.

User Not Needing Password For Login?
I've seen this problem for a while now, but since at the time I only needed 1 MySQL user for development purposes it wasn't a problem. Now, it's problematic. Btw, I have MySQL 5.0.22 installed. I created a user using the following command (I've tried this way and using GRANT): INSERT INTO user VALUES('%','XXXX',PASSWORD('YYYYY'), 'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y', 'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y', '','','','',0,0,0,0); Now, I see that row in the mysql.user table. I see the encrypted password, BUT when I try to log in to mysql from the command prompt using the user that I just created... it NEVER needs the password (YYYYY) that I set it to in the INSERT. >> mysql -uXXXX ^ That command takes me straight to the mysql command prompt. I am wanting the command to have to be 'mysql -uXXXX -p'... and then prompt for the password. Am I missing something?

Can You Retrieve/restore A MySQL User Password ?
Subject: Can you retrieve/restore a MySQL user Password? I'm working on my own, local WXP, MySQL, version: 3.23.38-nt and I have the "root" password, and normally use the root account. I have forgotten one of the Passwords for a user account which I have set up. Is there any way to UnEncrypt the users password, so I can use that account again? Any handy function that the "root" account can use, to determine a user's password? OR Should I delete the account and start from scratch? OR Should I re-apply GRANT statements so as to reset user/pass info?

First Time Install On Windows - Admin User&password Problem
I have a problem with logging in to MySQL. Access denied. I think the issue is with the host, user and password settings. I assumed you had to add this information to the my.ini before you started the service for the first time. Is this only for WinMySQLAdmin? Is there a default? I have tried all the solutions I could find but they seem to all require user privileges in the first place. I simply need to have one main admin user and password and to refresh their values to be certain of the new settings in case there was one before.

Mysql Password() & Unix Crypt Password...
I am creating a user administration system where system administrator can activate services for a user, like webspace, a mail account or a subdomain. I now want to create a function that creates mysql databases and grant the right privileges to a user. But the problem is that mysql wants to have the plaintext password for the user in the "grant ... identified by 'pwd'" field, or in a manual query to update the password in the mysql.user table with PASSWORD('pwd'). I have another database which holds the passwords for the users, these password are stored the moment a user signs up and are used to activate services, for example ssh access to the machine. The stored passwords are encrypted using crypt(). So for adding a ssh service to a user, I simply do echo "$user:$pwdhash" | chpasswd -e. I have chosen crypt because some programs (like proftpd) don't take md5 sums. The problems is that I don't have the plaintext password. So I cannot add a mysql db. So I need to create a user in mysql with a crypt password. I tried to just "grant all privileges ... identified by 'nothing'" and then afterwards update the mysql.user table and putt the crypt password in there but it doesn't work like that. Does anyone have any idea on how I could fix this, how can I create a user in mysql without having his plaintext password and only having a crypt hash of it. I thought about not only storing a crypt hash, but also an md5 hash and a mysql PASSWORD() hash.. but I think that's an ugly solution.
