In order to have a working Galera cluster `wsrep_sst_auth` option should be set (wsrep_sst_auth=username:userpassword) specifying a user with appropriate rights. I used these commands:
I have not found any information about it on the following appropriate resources: 1. https://mariadb.com/resources/blog/getting-started-with-mariadb-galera-and-mariadb-maxscale-on-centos/ Only on https://mariadb.com/kb/en/getting-started-with-mariadb-galera-cluster/ there is 7 years old comment complaining about it. I suppose, it should be documented. |

wsrep_sst_auth is not needed by default for Galera Cluster, because the default SST method is rsync, which does not perform authentication. It is only needed if you use other non-default SST methods by setting wsrep_sst_method to some other value. This is already documented on the following pages: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/introduction-to-state-snapshot-transfers-ssts/#authentication https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariabackup-sst-method/#authentication-and-privileges However, I will not close this issue yet, because we should also add documentation to the Enterprise Documentation about the various SST methods, and we should include this detail in that new documentation. |
