Verify a unique database name and a unique MySQL user with a secure password have been created for use in Jamf Pro EMM.

1. Execute the show databases command. - Ensure at least one database name other than the default databases exits. The default databases are: infomation_schema mysql performance_schema sys

2. Verify there is a unique MySQL user. - In MySQL, run select * mysql.user; - Look for a user that is not Root or one of the other MySQL service accounts.
