  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

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
