Re: password problem
Data directory path mention in cnf is of old mysql. Make a fresh data directory, configure it in configuration file and execute mysqlinstall_db, I don't understand the sentence about the data directory path mention. The my.cnf file is at /etc/my.cnf . It doesn't have any data directory path mention, but neither does the my.cnf file on a laptop, which works. So there seems to be nothing wrong with the location or content of the my.cnf file.

Re: Password Reset Not Working
Can someone please explain why I have 3 entries for root or if this is normal behavior for MySQL? I thought after a installation of MySQL, you normally have 2: 1 - localhost 2 - host.domain.com For some reason I had a 3rd entry: 3 - 127.0.0.1 I don't know if I did the right thing but I ran the following command: update user set host=localhost where host='127.0.0.1'; This basically changed the 127.0.0.1 entry in mysql databased, host section to localhost. I am not sure if MySQL needs to have the 3rd host entry for root that equals 127.0.0.1 or if it generally should just have the localhost and fqdn.

Re: Password Reset Not Working
It is important to understand deeply mysql client access control.
Basically you need only one root account from the localhost for
administration purposes.
Keep in mind that when you login specifying 'localhost' (either by the
-h flag or implicit) MySQL will use the mysql client socket interface,
if you specify '127.0.0.1' it will use the TCP/IP port (3306).
'localhost' is a sort of keyword telling the client to use the unix
socket file, '127.0.0.1' is bound to the tcp/ip port.
Host matching is always done BEFORE user matching.
MySQL sorts HOSTS with more specific entries on top and less ones on
bottom ('%' wildcarded entries)
MySQL sorts USERS with more specific entries on top and less ones on
bottom ('' empty user)
Bottom line, you need a triplet of USER-HOST-PASS for each account.
having localhost AND 127.0.0.1 it is only related to the different
connection method (socket , tcpip)
for any other (remote) account tcp-ip will be used.
I don't know if you are now more ore less confused!

Exactly, you need as many rows as many combination user/host we can also say that an account in MySQL is not the username BUT the username AND host combination.

Re: Password Reset Not Working
Hi Carlos
Try this
mysql update user set password=password('letmein') where user='root';
This way the password is saved encrypted, thats the way is compared when
you try to log in.

Thanks for the reply! I followed both methods in the following URL / link:

Check how many root rows do you have on the user table (select * from
user where user='root';), some times there are several rows with
different grants and probably you are going through and invalid rule.

That may or may not be a problem for you. If you want to easily log in as the user 'rails' when you have logged in to the box as thufir, then yes, you should create a local .my.cnf file in ~/thufir with the rails credentials.

Re: Password storage
On 8/18/07, C K [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Friends, I have one question - How to store passwords in MySQL database table in a secure way so that no one can see the password(understand the password string)? It is considered bad security practice to store passwords using reversible encryption. The issue is that users tend to choose the same passwords across different computing systems, as well as personal e-mail and banking accounts. The most common method is to keep a string, known only to the server, that is used to help generate the MD5 or SHA1 hash actually stored. The stored value is then generated using something like: MD5(CONCAT(server_string, user_password, server_string)) In order to be able to mount some kind of an attack other than brute force, an attacker would need to also have the server_string. The disadvantage of using only the user password for the MD5 is that it lends itself to a dictionary attack. So, a bit of randomness thrown in is helpful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary_attack As another poster pointed out, the probability of two different passwords having the same hash is remote. Using the SHA1 (160 bits) as an example, and assuming about 64 different characters (6 bits) available for passwords, the SHA1 is about 26 characters of information. Remote. Dave.

MD5() is not an encryption function. The MySQL manual states:
QUOTE
MD5(str)
Calculates an MD5 128-bit checksum for the string. The value
is returned as a binary string of 32 hex digits, or NULL if
the argument was NULL. The return value can, for example,
be used as a hash key.
mysql SELECT MD5('testing');
- 'ae2b1fca515949e5d54fb22b8ed95575'
This is the “RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm.”
/QUOTE
You might want to look at ENCODE() and DECODE() functions. Again from the
manual:
QUOTE
DECODE(crypt_str,pass_str)
Decrypts the encrypted string crypt_str using pass_str as
the password. crypt_str should be a string returned from ENCODE().
ENCODE(str,pass_str)
Encrypt str using pass_str as the password.
To decrypt the result, use DECODE().
The result is a binary string of the same length as str.
The strength of the encryption is based on how good the random
generator is. It should suffice for short strings.
/QUOTE
These are all functions you use in your sql statement, so yes. They can be
used in MS Access.

Re: Password problems using Mac OS X
Kevin - You can start up the MySQL server without password protection using the --skip-grant-tables option. Note that will leave your server wide open, so you may also want to use the --skip-networking option and access it through the socket on the same machine. Something like this I think: mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --old-passwords --user=root --skip-networking I know that Apple has packaged at least one MySQL update into the OS X 10.4.x updates. Is it possible that you got upgraded to MySQL 4.x during an Apple update? Perhaps your 3.23 installation still lives somewhere but now 4.x gets started up by the OS?

Dan, A thousand times thanks for the fast reply, I just reset my password with MySQL Administrator now, everything is back the way it was! On a sidenote: I also saw this as the version MySQL 5.0.17-max via socket. The version 3 was through phpinfo(). My php install and other MySQL do all use the same database though.

Actually, you should use a different function than PASSWORD(), which
should be used only in connection with account information in the
grant tables in the mysql database. SHA() or MD5() some possibilities.

Hi,
If I remember, ENCODE() is reversible using DECODE() or something similar.
I might be wrong, just check the manual!!!

mem_pass field should be at least 16 characters lengthwise to store result of

check it, plz.

RE: password not working from command line
Eldon, It looks like you have left in the records with a blank username for localhost and for UtilServer. The following description is taken from http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Connection_access.html and my own experimentation to validate that this works on Windows, too. The authentication system matches based on most specific host name first. Using your user table, let's say that user testit wants to connect from localhost. The sorted user table (sorted by host, user desc), looks like this: Localhost root Localhost blank UtilServer root UtilServer blank % testit The authentication tries to match the [EMAIL PROTECTED] So first, it sees it if matches with [EMAIL PROTECTED] Finds no match. Goes to the next: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unfortunately, this matches, so that's how you're logged it. If you do mysql select current_user(); you should see that you're connected as %localhost, with no username. Given your user table, that user has no rights. For the purpose of experimentation, delete the rows in the user table that have no username. You should see that things work as you expect. mysql delete from user where user = ; mysql flush privileges; mysql quit; See also http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Miscellaneous_functions.html. Compare the CURRENT_USER() function with the USER() function. CURRENT_USER() gives you the name you were authenticated as. -ms -Original Message- From: Eldon Ziegler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 3:56 AM To: Michael Shulman Subject: RE: password not working from command line Michael, The result of a SELECT * INTO OUTFILE FROM user is attached.

RE: Password problem
When connecting from a command line, mysql uses 3 of the columns in the user table to decide whether or not to grant access. These are host, user, and password. Note that in your results below, there is no localhost-newsletter-testPass combination. What the table shows is that clients from any host other than localhost can log in to a mysql client using the newsletter and testPass combination. If you want to login using a client on the same machine that you're running mysql, you need to add another entry to the user table, i.e., GRANT ALL PRIVILIGES ON newsletter.* TO newsletter@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'testPass' It took me a while to figure that one out, but it's saved me a lot of frustration knowing it now. I guess I don't understand why localhost isn't included in the % wildcard for the host column in this table. Anybody?

Re: Password problem
Neil, GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON newsletter.* TO newsletter IDENTIFIED BY 'testPass'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; I then tried to access the databse via the command-line client: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u newsletter -ptestPass newsletter And I get this error: ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'newsletter@localhost' (Using password: YES) I don't know if you have any other entries in the mysql.user / mysql.db tables. If so, there could be another entry for 'newsletter'@'something_else_but_not_%'. Whatever the reason - it's always a good idea to specify user names the classical MySQL way, i. e. 'user'@'machine', and not - as in most other DBMS - only as 'user'. What the manual says about it, is: The simple form user is a synonym for user@%.

Jeremy The way many systems handle passwords, is that you store the password as a one-way encryption (MD5 or crypt() for example), then when you need to test if that is the right password, you encrypt the password they give you, then see if the two encrypted forms match. That system makes breaking passwords much harder, since you have to brute force, not just have the reverse encryption key and then have access to all of the passwords. -- Kevin - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Re: Password function not working with latest 4.1 tree

Description:
with the latest 4.1 tree (from today) the PASSWORD() function returns random
alpha-numeric text /[a-f0-9]/
45 characters in length (which is too long for a password string). The string
always starts with a * (asterisk).
example:*95144feaa0f433f3f62c29382697a1e631b283f860f0
How-To-Repeat:
Using latest BK 4.1 tree, SELECT PASSWORD('something');
Yes, that's intentional - we have changed this in 4.1, but it's not
documented in the manual yet. A quote from the developer working on that
code:
[SNIP]
I've send rather large piece of documentation about it to docs but I
belive they still did not get into the manual.
A lot of changes about MySQL authentication changes are need to be done so
I can understand why it is not that quick.
Also it is not really random, but has some randomity in it. It is whole
idea!
Now password(1) returns different strings all the time - so if you have
many users you can't search for matching hashes for most simple passwords
as you previously could.
password() function is designed especially to provide password hash to be
used MySQL and it still does so. Some people used it for password
encryption instead of MD5() or SHA1(). These people are wrong of course
:)
But not being so cruel we left OLD_PASSWORD() function for them which
generates old password hash.
Also --old-passwords startup option can help if you would like to run in
4.0 compatible password generation mode.
[SNIP]
Hope that helps!

Re: Password function not working with latest 4.1 tree
Yes, that's intentional - we have changed this in 4.1, but it's not documented in the manual yet. A quote from the developer working on that code: So, the PASSWORD() function is now not to be used for passwords? The problem is that I have built at least a few applications that use PASSWORD() as the authentication mechanism as it produces a one-way hash that is the same every time - the same as what MD5() does. No one was told that this wasn't the desired usage for PASSWORD(). Now the problem that I face is that I can't convert my old passwords to MD5 hashes because the original PASSWORD() function was irreversible. Therefore I am left with no choice but to use a deprecated function... which I really don't want to do... What do you suggest?

Re: Password protection
Dear Bjoern, I have completed a new setup on WinXP, with Mysqld-nt as a service, and assigned a new password to root. However I am able to connect as root without password, alter and even drop tables and complete databases with the tool MySQLFront !!! After setting up MySQL under Windows, the grant tables have automatically been set up with some basic users. One of them is called root, a user who can connect from the local box without entering a password. This is done so new users can just play around a little without having to worry about what a privilege system is etc. All user account information in MySQL is stored in a database called mysql. User accounts (with user privileges to the MySQL server) are stored in mysql.user, and if access is limited to certain databases, account information is also stored in mysql.db. You can find detailed information on the MySQL privilege system at http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_MySQL_Database_Adm inistration.html#User_Account_Management. You can GRANT and REVOKE privileges like in other SQL DBMS. In MySQL, you can also INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE users through the tables in the mysql database. If you manipulate the mysql tables directly (instead of GRANTing and REVOKEing), you will have to issue FLUSH PRIVILEGES to tell the server to reload the grant tables (and thus, make the access privileges take effect). To make your MySQL server secure, you can do: DELETE FROM mysql.user; DELETE FROM mysql.db; -- This will erase all current users GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'superuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret' WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; -- make the changes of the above DELETE take effect Note that 'superuser' can only connect from localhost. If you need other users, you can create new accounts as 'superuser' with GRANT statements like in other SQL DBMS.
