** Description changed: With MySQL version 8.0, the ansible mysql module runs into an error while creating a new MySQL user with the option "encrypted: yes" (if the MySQL user does not exist yet). The Bug appears to be in the 'user_add' function in file '/usr/lib/python3/dist- packages/ansible/modules/database/mysql/mysql_user.py' (see arrow below): def user_add(cursor, user, host, host_all, password, encrypted, new_priv, check_mode): # we cannot create users without a proper hostname if host_all: return False if check_mode: return True if password and encrypted: ---> cursor.execute("CREATE USER %s@%s IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD %s", (user, host, password)) <--- elif password and not encrypted: cursor.execute("CREATE USER %s@%s IDENTIFIED BY %s", (user, host, password)) else: cursor.execute("CREATE USER %s@%s", (user, host)) if new_priv is not None: for db_table, priv in iteritems(new_priv): privileges_grant(cursor, user, host, db_table, priv) return True Ansible translates this to and tries to execute the following MySQL command which fails (here the output from mysql after retrying): mysql> CREATE USER 'newuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD "*123456789012345678901234567890"; ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'PASSWORD "*123456789012345678901234567890"' at line 1 The following MySQL command actually does what I am trying to accomplish: mysql> CREATE USER 'newuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password AS '*123456789012345678901234567890'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec) + + + --- + + ansible-playbook version: 2.9.9 + python version = 3.8.6 (default, Jan 27 2021, 15:42:20) [GCC 10.2.0]
