Resolved MariaDB username length up to 80 characters

B4c4rd1

Regular Pleskian
Hello,

MariaDB 10.x supports a username with a length of 80 characters and MySQL as of version 5.7.9, 32 characters.

Plesk supports only 16 characters. Can this value be changed in the database? Is there an invisible switch as:

Code:
MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql -u admin psa -e "insert into misc(param,val) values('db_user_length',7)"

Thanks for your Reply!

Thanks for your reply @UFHH01 . I mean the MySQL Username. MariaDB supports usernames up to 80 characters.

You mean:

Plesk user name length 1...20
Plesk user password length 5...160
System user name length 1...16
System user password length 5...255

MySQL aka MariaDB username: 80

This my littletest in PHPMyAdmin:

You can create here the database user:

Hi B4c4rd1,

due to the fact, that a "system user" is as well a "domain system user", or a "domain ftp user", etc. ... pls. consider to equal YOUR "MySQL aka MariaDB username length" to "System user name length". ;)
