Mysql user creation script

Question

I\'m trying to automate MySQL user creation procedure. I thought of creating a temp file that would contain mysql user creation statements, then I would have call it like this :

Answer 1

If you do not want to store password in clear text, then save it in hashed format -

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mytestdatabase.* TO 'mytestdatabase'@'localhost'
  IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*7560636C2922C05954FE6A2446AA00C84708B57B';

Where hashed password is a result of this query -

SELECT PASSWORD('my password');

Answer 2

I have also got same problem, it is resolved just by setting the password by mentioned query below.

SET PASSWORD FOR 'user'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('MyNewPass');

Answer 3

Well hat is error bcoz you have wrote the wrong way just you have wrote,

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'USER'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '@password';

and the true syntax is follows. look here.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'USER'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '@password';

because your password is causing that error. it must be in as shown.

try:

      TO mytestdatabase@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';

where PASSWORD is your password (in quotes).

I opened phpMYAdmin and went to the the users tab, found the user i was trying to connect with clicked Edit Privileges, scrolled down to the Change Login Information / Copy User section and choose Any host for the Host option, it was set to local. When I clicked the Go button, it generated a script similar to the ones listed here.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'james'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*780E1D13F1C7713F341A117499C6D8644464C4CF' WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0 ;
