Server hardening for MariaDB/MySQL
This chapter contains security hardening rules to secure your MariaDB and MySQL Community servers 5.x that are deployed
with Wyse Management Suite.
Restrict access to MariaDB or MySQL resources
You must access the MariaDB or MySQL service using an administrator account. If all users have access to the MariaDB or
MySQL service, they can access the configuration files and the data directories. Dell Technologies recommends restricting
access to a user account that is used for Wyse Management Suite installation and configuration. The following steps ensure that
the MariaDB or MySQL resources are not accessible to other users.
Steps
1. Log in to the server where Wyse Management Suite is installed.
2. Go to the Wyse Management Suite installation directory.
