Re: Setting up MariaDB MaxScale

Is it correct to do this?

create user '*username*'@'*maxscalehost*' identified by '*password*';

The '*' should be removed, not so?

Yes, they are meant to be interpreted as placeholder values. Here's an example creation of a user named maxuser identified by the password maxpwd for MaxScale. The MaxScale instance is located on 192.168.121.100:

CREATE USER 'maxuser'@'192.168.121.100' IDENTIFIED BY 'maxpwd';
GRANT SELECT ON mysql.user TO 'maxuser'@'192.168.121.100';
GRANT SELECT ON mysql.db TO 'maxuser'@'192.168.121.100';
GRANT SELECT ON mysql.tables_priv TO 'maxuser'@'192.168.121.100';
GRANT SHOW DATABASES ON *.* TO 'maxuser'@'192.168.121.100';
GRANT REPLICATION CLIENT ON *.* TO 'maxuser'@'192.168.121.100';
