Step 3: Reset the Mysql Temporary root Password and Chacge the password Policy
vi /etc/my.cnf add these lines below [mysqld] validate_password_policy=LOW validate_password_length=6 validate_password_dictionary_file=YES validate_password_special_char_count =0 validate_password_mixed_case_count = 0 --- save and quit (:wq) --- service mysqld start cat /var/log/mysqld.log |grep "temporary password" 2015-09-06T16:46:46.109066Z 1 [Note] A temporary password is generated for root@localhost: <Password> # mysql_secure_installation Enter password for user root: <Enter the Temporary Password> The existing password for the user account root has expired. Please set a new password. New password: <New Password> Re-enter new password: <Retype the 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) : n ... 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) : 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!
Step 4: Check the Version and Mysql Once
