Currently Columnstore will read the maruadb/mysql password from $HOME/.my.cnf. Customer requested: Can the software be upgraded to handle the mylogin.cnf file with encrypted passwords and multiple logins with passwords, specified with --login_path, maintained by the mysql_config_editor |

FYI, Standard MariaDB doesn't even support this right now, and I'm not sure that it ever will. See the following blog from kolbe for an analysis on why mysql_config_editor and .mylogin.cnf doesn't really protect your password: https://mariadb.com/resources/blog/mysql-56-security-through-complacency |

This requires a change to MariaDB Server - which does not support this feature. Please first submit this request for MDEV |
