ℹ️ Check
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.
Both of these steps must be correct.
If a unique database name and a unique MySQL user with a secure password have not been created, this is a finding.
