Webmin 在哪里存储根 MySQL 密码？

Question

If I change my root password for MySQL, Webmin prompts me to re-enter it so that it "knows" the password. Where is Webmin storing this password at?

Answer 1

/etc/webmin/mysql/config

Its the line that starts with pass=

https://github.com/webmin/webmin/blob/master/mysql/config

If you're entering it into this file manually, it needs to be in plain text.

Note that this doesn't affect mysql's password, just webmin's login credentials to the mysql service.
