I think that decrpt encrypted password after encrypted password is loaded into eporter is a possible way , it would enventually look like bleow:
Assume I have a password 123 , after encryption , it may be a random number "S@)&SALVYALW.....". I then wirte this random number into configuration file. When started , before make th MySQL connection , exporter will decrypt this random number after it is loaded. After decryption process , exporter will have a correct password to make the MySQL connection. 在2024年8月28日星期三 UTC+8 14:27:47<Ben Kochie> 写道： > How would the exporter decrypt that in order to use it for authentication? > The exporter needs the password in order to make the MySQL connection. > > On Wed, Aug 28, 2024 at 8:24 AM ming yi <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi, >> I was wondering if i can open a pull for adding an encrypt/decrypt >> feature to mysql_export,which is used to save password as encrpted form. >> >> For example,my password was 123 and now i want encrypt it using rsa >> algorithm and then write it to .my.cnf file.
