How To configure mysql_config_editor in mysql 5.7

 How To configure mysql_config_editor in mysql 5.7

Whenever you want to connect to the MySQL server using the mysql client, you need to provide the password.

To avoid entering the password every time you connect to the MySQL server, you can use the mysql_config_editor utility program.

The mysql_config_editor utility program encrypts and stores MySQL credentials in a file named .mylogin.cnf in a directory, depending on the operating system:

In Window file location:-

Windows C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\.mylogin.cnf

In linux based operation file location:-

macOS and Linux ~/.mylogin.cnf

Each set of credentials is referred to as a login path, which includes information such as the username, password, hostname, and port for connecting to a MySQL server.

The mysql client automatically uses the information stored in the .mylogin.cnf file to facilitate logins.

To specify which login path to use, you can use the --login-path parameter for the mysql client. If you don’t provide any login path, the mysql client will use the client login path by default.

Defining credentials by creating a new login path

To create a new login path, you use the following syntax:

mysql_config_editor set [options]

Code language: SQL (Structured Query Language) (sql)

The options include:

  • --login-path=: The label for the credentials.
  • --user=: The account username.
  • --password: Flag to prompt for a password securely.
  • --host=: The MySQL server’s hostname or IP address.
  • --port=: The port number where the MySQL server is listening.
  • --socket=: The path to the local socket file if connecting to a local server through Unix sockets.

Step-1.Checked the any mysql config file created or not.





step.2.create my.cnf  encrypted file using mysql_config_editor.

 mysql_config_editor set --user=root --password --host=xx.xx.xx.xx--login-path=test



step.3.check my.cnf file using command line.

 mysql_config_editor print --all



step.4. Reset all mysql config editor.

 mysql_config_editor reset

 MySQL Replication Switchover: Step-by-Step Guide MySQL replication is a powerful feature that allows you to create redundant copies of your database for improved availability and scalability. In certain scenarios, it becomes necessary to switch the roles of the master and slave servers in a replication setup. This article will guide you through the process of performing a MySQL replication switchover, ensuring a smooth transition without any data loss. Let’s dive into the step-by-step instructions. I have tow node one is master node and another is slave node.Given below details:- Current Master: 192.168.70.10 Current Slave : 192.168.70.11 Verifying the Replication:- Before initiating the switchover, it’s important to verify that replication is functioning correctly on the current Slave server (192.168.70.11). Execute the following queries to ensure the replication status: mysql> show slave status\G This command displays the slave’s status, including information such as replicat...

How To Install and Configure Innodb Cluster /shell/Router

 InnoDB Cluster InnoDB Cluster = MySQL Server + MySQL Shell + MySQL Router  MySQL InnoDB has three major components: 1. MySQL group replication :–  It is a group of database servers. It replicates the MySQL databases across the multiple nodes, and it has fault tolerance. When changes in the data occur in the MySQL databases, it automatically replicates to the secondary nodes of the server. The concept of the MySQL group replication is similar to the concept of the AlwaysOn availability group. 2. MySQL Router: –  When a failover occurs, the client application must be aware of the PRIMARY instance and cluster topology. This functionality is handled by the MySQL Router. It routes that redirects the data requests to the available MySQL Server instance.MySQL Router acts as a proxy that is used to hide the multiple MySQL database servers. The concept of the MySQL Router is similar to the Virtual network name of the Windows Server failover cluster. 3. MySQL Shell :–  I...
