Description
When installing MariaDB as a normal user, mysql_secure_installation fails when attempting to authenticate the root user (with an empty password).
This can be worked around by updating the make_config function to avoid writing the user and password lines if the provided root password is empty, as in the following alternate implementation (first if-statement added):
make_config() {
|
echo "# mysql_secure_installation config file" >$config |
echo "[mysql]" >>$config |
if [ ! -z "$rootpass" ]; then |
echo "user=root" >>$config |
esc_pass=`basic_single_escape "$rootpass"` |
echo "password='$esc_pass'" >>$config |
fi |
#sed 's,^,> ,' < $config # Debugging |
|
|
if test -n "$defaults_file" |
then |
dfile=`parse_arg "$defaults_file"` |
cat "$dfile" >>$config |
fi |
}
|
I'm not sure if this is the proper fix, but hopefully it at least highlights where the conflict is happening.

In that case, what's the appropriate course of action from here? Should this issue be re-opened? Let me know if there's anything else I can I do to help this be addressed.
Sergei/Anel, can either of you provide some guidance on what the next steps are from here? Are you willing to re-open the issue in light of Sergei's last comment? If not, let me know what other next steps are most appropriate.
Hi groot-verde, I'm working on the patch for MDEV-22486 which will address also your concerns.
It will need some time to communicate with my reviewers, have worked on some patch.
Let's leave this closed and please follow MDEV-22486.
Yes, I believe your impression is exactly correct. And mysql_secure_installation could, indeed, be extended to recognize when it's run as $USER that owns all the data files and use that somehow.
