Hi naresh.chandra@copart.com, there was a ticket to pre-select listener as the default option: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MXS-3837
Depending on the user's usage, some people may prefer to connect directly to a Service or a Server. I would say the user can connect to any resource they want as they probably know what they are doing.
Apart from that, adding parameters to the conf file would just make things complex.

Yeah Duong,

But for the developers, they may confuse between these options, if we can give backend option would be good so that we can configure it in the maxscale.conf file or GUI also would be good.

Hi naresh.chandra@copart.com, I think I can add a dropdown in the `Query configuration` dialog to let users configure which resources to be allowed. But, by default, it would still select all resources.

Hi Duong,

Thanks for the update, but is it possible to set globally for all the sessions? I mean if set through admin user then it should reflect to all the users.

In the GUI, can you please provide the admin level configuration would be good. so that we don't need to let users do the configurations changes.

No, it's only user preferences.

okay but, if every time user logins so every time he has to change right? or is it one time setting for every user?

For example if we login through AD credentials, so if he changed to server then after it should be always source as a server only right?

Everything options in the `Query Configuration` dialog are stored permanently. So even when they log out, it keeps the configuration.

If that's permanent then it would be good. but I am suspecting that he/she logins through AD (LDAP) credentials then will it be permanent set the configuration or not I am getting doubt on the AD authentication?

and AD user has only read only access, he cant change any settings in the GUI I guess.

Currently, all the configurations are stored in localStorage of the browser. So I think I won't have any effect. These configurations are UI-related options, it doesn't interact with the API. So I think it should be fine.

Okay, that's why I asked for global settings using the admin user. Anyhow we will see it.
Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Duong,

Will it fix in the next release?

Hi naresh.chandra@copart.com, I think this could be in our summer release. But I'll leave it to our PM to decide.

Hi Duong,

Thanks for the update.

Todd Stoffel, can you please fix this coming release?

Hi Todd,

Can we try any other way or user level configuration settings? So, that every time no need to select from the drop down list.

Hi Todd,

Can we have a check box initially and it will save under user preferences so that that every time no need to select from the drop-down list.
