Hi all, Found a minor problem with the gmysql backend. Wondering if anyone has ideas for a workaround.
The password policy here is to include non-alpha characters in passwords. For example: ETM$TYS#$@CF%Y%%bjka3#@DXge However, even though that's a valid MySQL password, and the mysql command like utility has no issues with it, PowerDNS's gmysql backend refuses to use it. Errors out with: gmysql Connection failed: Unable to connect to database: Access denied for user 'pdns'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Removing the non-alpha chars like this allows things to work: ETMTYSCFYbjka3DXge But, that's not compliant with strong password policy. :( Thinking the problem may be escaping related, tried these too: gmysql-password="ETM$TYS#$@CF%Y%%bjka3#@DXge" gmysql-password='ETM$TYS#$@CF%Y%%bjka3#@DXge' gmysql-password="ETM\$TYS\#\$\@CF\%Y\%\%bjka3\#\@DXge" gmysql-password=ETM\$TYS\#\$\@CF\%Y\%\%bjka3\#\@DXge Still no go. Anyone have ideas?
