Whilst I can see the benefit of running as root with "grant all" in development (I want to be able to do anything I want to, any time I want to! :-), this strikes me as poor practice for a production instance.
What is the minimum set of database privileges needed for the production instance of Mifos to run? I believe that root should be used to create the database and set up the necessary and sufficient privileges for the production user, then the production user should be the one specified in the deploymifosDB.properties file and used for normal operations. This will require extra steps in the creation of a Mifos system but I believe will be better security practice in the long run. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
