When logging into mysql, I can do a:
./mysql -u mysql -p

... then when it prompts me for a password, I just hit enter and it logs me in without a problem.
I can then do a:
use test;

... and I'm in the test database.


I can also do a:
./mysql -u mysql

... and it logs me in fine.
I can then do a:
use test;

... and I'm in the test database.


In thew up a page on my server, and I'm connecting like this:
jdbc:mysql://xxx.xxx.x.xxx/test?user=mysql

... but it gives me this error:
Invalid authorization specification, message from
server: "Access denied for user: 'mysql@xxx.xxx.x.xxx' (Using password:
NO)"


Question is, why won't it let me in ?

when i say i'm "loggin in", this is straight from the command line.

any insight on this database masters ?
using the mysql driver, is the password required ?

Perhaps you try to connect from an other computer so it does't work cause MySql identify user by their login and their host name.

omiossec, you are good
i didn't have the specific user set to be accepted to the correct domain.
i had to do an update to have the user to have permissions from any domain... ie:
grant all prvilidges... etc 'user'@'%'...etc

many thanks !!!
