5. Get Your Generated Random root Password

Bash

grep 'A temporary password is generated for root@localhost' /var/log/mysqld.log |tail -1

Example Output:

Bash

2015-11-20T21:11:44.229891Z 1 [Note] A temporary password is generated for root@localhost: -et)QoL4MLid

And root password is: -et)QoL4MLid

6. MySQL Secure Installation

Change root password

Remove anonymous users

Disallow root login remotely

Remove test database and access to it

Reload privilege tables

Start MySQL Secure Installation with following command

Bash

/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

Output:

Bash

Securing the MySQL server deployment.

Enter password for user root:

The 'validate_password' plugin is installed on the server.

The subsequent steps will run with the existing configuration

of the plugin.

Using existing password for root.

Estimated strength of the password: 100

Change the password for root ? ((Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : Y

New password:

Re-enter new password:

Estimated strength of the password: 100

Do you wish to continue with the password provided?(Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : Y

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) : Y

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) : Y

Success.

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) : Y

- 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) : Y

Success.

All done!

Note: If you don’t want some reason, do a “MySQL Secure Installation” then at least it’s very important to change the root user’s password

Bash

mysqladmin -u root password [your_password_here]

## Example ##

mysqladmin -u root password myownsecrectpass

7. Connect to MySQL database (localhost) with password

Bash

mysql -u root -p

## OR ##

mysql -h localhost -u root -p

8. Create Database, Create MySQL User and Enable Remote Connections to MySQL Database

This example uses following parameters:

DB_NAME = webdb

USER_NAME = webdb_user

REMOTE_IP = 10.0.15.25

PASSWORD = password123

PERMISSIONS = ALL

SQL

## CREATE DATABASE ##

mysql> CREATE DATABASE webdb;

## CREATE USER ##

mysql> CREATE USER 'webdb_user'@'10.0.15.25' IDENTIFIED BY 'password123';

## GRANT PERMISSIONS ##

mysql> GRANT ALL ON webdb.* TO 'webdb_user'@'10.0.15.25';

## FLUSH PRIVILEGES, Tell the server to reload the grant tables ##

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Enable Remote Connection to MariaDB Server –> Open MySQL Port (3306) on Iptables Firewall (as root user again)

1. Fedora 25/24/23 and CentOS/Red Hat (RHEL) 7.3

1.1 Add New Rule to Firewalld

Bash

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=mysql

## OR ##

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add --port=3306/tcp

1.2 Restart firewalld.service

Bash

2. CentOS/Red Hat (RHEL) 6.8/5.11

2.3 Restart Iptables Firewall:

Bash

service iptables restart

## OR ##

/etc/init.d/iptables restart

3. Test remote connection

Bash

mysql -h 10.0.15.25 -u myusername -p
