Indeed, I don’t understand either :) s/Tomcat/MySQL/ I see that Douglas has already updated http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationMySQL, cool :) I’ve added an alternative which is to use a more complex password.

I don't understand how you link it to Tomcat. Seems to be a MySQL thing only.

Maybe Tomcat 9.x has a new feature to ensure that passwords are not too easy to guess. You’re the first one to report this but I guess not many users have moved to Tomcat 9 yet since it’s not final yet. It would be interesting if you could add that info to the xwiki page about Tomcat: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat In any case, thanks for reporting. > Apologies if this has already been raised here; I don't see a way to search > the archives yet.

[xwiki-users] xwiki mysql user password complexity
Greetings, I am trying to install XWiki 8.4.3 in Tomcat 9.0.0.M15. The instructions at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationMySQL say : mysql -u root -e "grant all privileges on *.* to xwiki@localhost identified by 'xwiki'" This was failing for me with a message about password complexity until I said, in mysql, "uninstall plugin validate_password;" Apologies if this has already been raised here; I don't see a way to search the archives yet.
