Hi, I was able to identify the issue, but need help fixing it.
The problem is that the testing module uses the default root user of the newly created database, and it uses the UNIX socket, and that has peercred authentication by default in MariaDB. I tried the following to disable peercred for the socket: $ cat >init.sql USE mysql; UPDATE user SET plugin='' WHERE User='root'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; $ mysqld … --initialize-insecure --init-file=init.sql But it still does not allow connecting a non-root user as root through the UNIX socket. Any help appreciated. -nik -- PGP-Fingerprint: 3C9D 54A4 7575 C026 FB17 FD26 B79A 3C16 A0C4 F296 Dominik George · Hundeshagenstr. 26 · 53225 Bonn Mobile: +49-1520-1981389 · https://www.dominik-george.de/ Teckids e.V. · FrOSCon e.V.
