This allows MySQL Shell (mysqlsh) to read the username and password from ~/.my.cnf, similar to
what mysql does by default.
mysqlsh --credential-store-helper=mycnf --sql root@localhost
Or you can put something like this in ~/.mysqlsh/options.json:
{
"credentialStore.helper": "mycnf",
"defaultMode": "sql"
}
And then:
mysqlsh root@localhost
From binary: Download and place in the same directory as mysqlsh
From source:
go get github.com/go-ini/ini
go build
mv mysql-secret-store-mycnf $(dirname $(which mysqlsh))
