The file he is asking about is actually located in the reports folder on your hard drive; this one is not accessible by anyone other than those on your internal network or yourself.
When creating a website it is best to create a new user with only the needed privileges to work for SAM. We have a knowledge base article covering this. The one in the reporter folder is not accessible via the internet. In addition, SAM uses the root user by default, however you are free to change the password and supply SAM with that during installation. James Henline.

Its the most basic way. here is a copy of one <?/* <CONFIG application="SAM"version="4.2.2"> <Database> <Driver>MYSQL</Driver> <Host>yournetwork IP address</Host> <Port>3306</Port> <Database>SAMDB</Database> <Username>extra user name in mysql administrator</Username> <Password>the above users password</Password> </Database> </CONFIG> */?> ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Curd To: [email protected] ; [email protected] Sent: Saturday, September 29, 2007 9:43 PM Subject: RE: [General-discussion] Reports errors I figured it out! Located in the SAMReporter/htdocs/ folder. This file dbconfig.xml.php is the one that needed my MySql password. I have noticed that Sam does not prompt you and ask if you want to set a password on setup unless in a custom setup, I think this would be considered a security flaw/breach but just for me I prefer to have passwords set when the root user is used so much by SAM. Is this file accessible from the internet in anyway via Sam? I am pretty sure it is not but just wanted to know for sure....
