mysql_adaptor

Name

mysql_adaptor — MySQL/MariaDB connector for user metadata and authentication

Description

mysql_adaptor is a service plugin for integrating mail accounts from a MySQL/MariaDB database.

Configuration directives

The usual config file location is /etc/gromox/mysql_adaptor.cfg.

connection_num
Number of SQL connections to keep active.
Default: 8
enable_firsttimepw
This flag determines whether non-LDAP users with no recorded password (empty users.password SQL column) will have the account's password set to whatever credential was passed along in the first authentication request.
Default: o
mysql_dbname

Default: email

mysql_host
The hostname/IP address for contacting the SQL server.
Default: localhost
mysql_password

Default: (unset)

mysql_port
The TCP port number for contacting the SQL server.
Default: 3306
mysql_rdwr_timeout
This sets the MYSQL_OPT_READ_TIMEOUT and MYSQL_OPT_WRITE_TIMEOUT option values on the MySQL connection.
Default: 0 (no timeout)
mysql_username

Default: root

scan_interval

Default: 1 minute

schema_upgrade

This controls what to do when a database schema update is available. Because there is no locking mechanism available that works across machines, the mysql_adaptor plugin does not use any locking locally either. As a result, the default is to not perform any upgrades.

autoupdate

Do perform automatic schema upgrades when mysql_adaptor is started. Warning: This option can potentially be harmful if multiple programs try to upgrade the database at the same time.

host:xyz

Perform automatic schema upgrades, but only when executing from http(8gx) and only when http.cfg's host_id value matches xyz.

skip

No automatic schema upgrades are performed. The initialization will report completion and the program continues execution. The mysql_adaptor plugin may not properly work when desired tables are missing and cannot deliver data.

abort

No automatic schema upgrades are performed. The initialization is aborted and the program terminates. Schema upgrades can be done manually with gromox-dbop(8gx).

Default: skip
