• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

problem with mysql admin password

Plesk 10.3.1 - Centos 6.0 - x86_64

On one server I cannot logon to mysql from shell using the admin password, the same that works to logon from the web interface.
Instead to logon to mysql I have to use the password stored in /etc/psa/.psa.shadow AS IS, while the admin password (the same I can get using "/usr/local/psa/bin/admin --show-password") is it's decrypted form.

So the problem is that when I change the admin password, Plesk sets it enncrypted in /etc/psa/.psa.shadow but then behaves like in the previous versions of Plesk where in /etc/psa/.psa.shadow it's the real password, and uses it to set the password in the grant tables of mysql.
From the web interface I have no problem logging on using the password I choosed.

Maybe there is a switch to tell Plesk to consider the password stored in /etc/psa/.psa.shadow the real password OR the encrypted form (for example for compatibility reasons during Plesk upgrades), but where?

How can I fix it?
Thanks.
 
To encrypt the password manually, use this command-line call:
# /usr/local/psa/bin/init_conf -u -passwd <password> -encrypted-password

To decrypt the password, run:
# /usr/local/psa/bin/init_conf -u -passwd <password> -plain-password
