Securing the MySQL server deployment.

Connecting to MySQL using a blank password.

VALIDATE PASSWORD PLUGIN can be used to test passwords
and improve security. It checks the strength of password
and allows the users to set only those passwords which are
secure enough. Would you like to setup VALIDATE PASSWORD plugin?

Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No:

<nowiki>********</nowiki>

Probably should be Yes, but only if you are willing to fight with it over password rules...

<nowiki>********</nowiki>

Please set the password for root here.

New password:

Re-enter new password:

<nowiki>********</nowiki>

This is where you choose a password for administering the database...

<nowiki>********</nowiki>

By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user,
allowing anyone to log into MySQL without having to have
a user account created for them. This is intended only for
testing, and to make the installation go a bit smoother.
You should remove them before moving into a production
environment.

Remove anonymous users? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) :

<nowiki>********</nowiki>

Say Yes...

<nowiki>********</nowiki>

Success.

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from
'localhost'. This ensures that someone cannot guess at
the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) :

<nowiki>********</nowiki>

Say no if you want to administer MySQL from, say, a script running on another machine.

If your server is not accessible to the outside world for administrative stuff, this is safe to do.

<nowiki>********</nowiki>

... skipping.
By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that
anyone can access. This is also intended only for testing,
and should be removed before moving into a production
environment.

Remove test database and access to it? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) :

<nowiki>********</nowiki>

Just say Yes

<nowiki>********</nowiki>

- Dropping test database...
Success.

- Removing privileges on test database...
Success.

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes
made so far will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) :

<nowiki>********</nowiki>

Say yes... This is a silly question.

<nowiki>********</nowiki>

Success.

All done!
