Hello,


I’m seeking clarification regarding database user password management in DirectAdmin.


Under User Level → Account Management → Databases, I’m unable to find an option to reset database user passwords. The same applies under Database Users.


This makes it difficult to resolve database connection errors when credentials need to be updated.


Could you please confirm:


  1. Whether DirectAdmin provides a UI-based method to reset existing database user passwords
  2. If this behavior is intentional by design
  3. What the recommended approach is for resetting database user passwords

Any guidance would be appreciated.


Thank you.
 
Its there. If you are under Account Manager - Databases, then you have a list of your databases. On the right side of each database, there is a button "Manage", click on it. On the following page scroll down to the part "User access", then here you have again a list of your databases and again on the right side a button "Manage" (and "Privileges" and "Revoke Access"). Click "Manage" again, then on the new site you can set a new PW for the DB. (Valid for the Evo skin)
