5.4.2.1. Instance Manager Users and Passwords
The Instance Manager stores its user information in a
password file. The default name of the password file is
/etc/mysqlmanager.passwd.
Password entries have the following format:
petr:*35110DC9B4D8140F5DE667E28C72DD2597B5C848
If there are no entries in the
/etc/mysqlmanager.passwd file, you
cannot connect to the Instance Manager.
To generate a new entry, invoke Instance Manager with the
--passwd option. Then the output can be
appended to the
/etc/mysqlmanager.passwd file to add a
new user. Here is an example:
shell> mysqlmanager --passwd >> /etc/mysqlmanager.passwd
Creating record for new user.
Enter user name: mike
Enter password: password
Re-type password: password
The preceding command causes the following line to be added
to /etc/mysqlmanager.passwd:
mike:*00A51F3F48415C7D4E8908980D443C29C69B60C9
