password for the MariaDB server as well as which port it uses for communication.
The installer will automatically configure the Connect Server to use the supplied password and
port.
l Port: The port on which MariaDB will expect requests to come though, and through which
it itself responds.
A check is run to confirm whether the specified TCP\IP Port Number is available on the
local machine. If it is already being used by another service (generally, an existing
MySQL or MariaDB installation), the number is highlighted in red and a warning message
is displayed.
Note
The MariaDBdatabase controlled by the OLConnect_MariaDB service
communicates through port 3306 by default.
l Root password: Enter the password for the 'root', or administration account, for the
MariaDBserver.
Use the eye icon to toggle between displaying or masking the password entry.
We recommend that the password be at least 8 characters long and contain at least one
of each of the following, even though password selection strength is not enforced by the
installer:
l a lower case character (a, b, c ... )
l an upper case character (A, B, C ...)
l a numeric digit (1, 2, 3 ...)
l a punctuation character (@, $, ~ ...)
For example:"This1s@K"
Note
When updating from an earlier Connect version, the appropriate MariaDBpassword
must be entered or the update will fail.
If the password is subsequently forgotten, then MariaDBmust be uninstalled and its
database deleted from disk before attempting to reinstall.
