When I first click on phpMyAdmin I see the following message on the right:
"Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole."
I am assuming these security holes are the users with no passwords in the Privileges section. When I click the Privileges tab I see this:
User overview
User -------Host -----Password --- Global privileges --- Grant
Any ----------- % ---------- No ---------------- USAGE ------------- No
pma ------- localhost ------ No ------------ ALL PRIVILEGES ------ Yes
root ------- localhost ------ No ------------ ALL PRIVILEGES ------ Yes
testuser --- localhost ---- Yes ------------ ALL PRIVILEGES ------ Yes
Can I delete all the users and create my own? What is PMA? Global privileges? Grant? What do I need to change to secure phpMyAdmin? Thank you all emensely for your assistance.
