Authenticating the password
Authenticating the password keeps you from specifying the password every time you run a backup. The (Windows) my.ini file and the (Linux) my.cnf file stores the password and the application picks the password every time you run a backup.
The agent reads the plaintext authentication credentials from the my.cnf file in Linux and my.ini file in Windows.
Before you authenticate the password, you must meet the following prerequisites:
(Windows) Set the user environment variable
MYSQL_HOMEto point tomy.inifile path.(Linux) Include the
Mariadbbin directory in$PATH.
To authenticate the password
- (Optional) Add the client section.
- Under the Client section, edit the
my.iniormy.cnffile to add the password. For example,[client]
port=3306
password=<password>
- To verify the password authentication, login to MariaDB server using the following command:
mysql -u <user>
