Hi Mike, If when installing your mysql server, you set a password for the mysql root user, you will need to specify that here. If you haven't encountered errors in your deploydb, you probably haven't set the mysql root user password and so you don't have to change the db.properties file. Typically, if we set this password, we copy over the db.properties file to db.properties.override and fill in this field in that file and it will get picked up by the db schema creation scripts.

Can someone tell me what filling in this value will change behavior wise in CloudStack? Thanks!
