how can we provide security for mysql ..i'm using phptriad2-2.1.?how can we provide security thru phpmyadmin?

Question

i.e how cud we enter to php my admin thru our user name and password

Answer 1

There are a few ways to configure phpmyadmin authentication. You mentioned you wanted it secure, so your probably want to use the http or cookie methods. The config auth method stores the MySQL username and password right in the config file and anyone who can access the phpmyadmin page can administer it.

Keep in mind that:
"phpMyAdmin does not apply any special security methods to the MySQL database server. It is still the system administrator's job to grant permissions on the MySQL databases properly. phpMyAdmin's "Privileges" page can be used for this."
