When nosqlprotocol is started with the following configuration

...

nosqlprotocol.user=the_user

nosqlprotocol.password=the_password

nosqlprotocol.authentication_required=true

nosqlprotocol.authorization_enabled=true

it should check whether the NoSQL account database is empty and if it is, it should create a a NoSQL user the_user with the password the_password, and give it the NoSQL capabilities corresponding to what SHOW GRANTS reports for the user.

With this functionality, the bootstrapping of a secure nosqlprotocol installation is significantly simplified. All that needs to be done is:

• Create the user in MariaDB.
• Configure nosqlprotocol in the MaxScale configuration file as above.
• Start MaxScale.

Without this functionality, the creation of a secure nosqlprotocol installation requires MaxScale needs to be started multiple times, with the MaxScale configuration file edited in between.
