https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20929 Bug ID: 20929 Summary: koha-dump should not pass a --password argument to mysqldump Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P5 - low Component: Packaging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: solaris.smoke@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: mirko@abunchofthings.net Created attachment 76017 --> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=76017&action=edit Use env variable instead of --password argument for mysqldump koha-dump currently passes a password as a CLI argument to mysqldump, which results in the following warning: mysqldump: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure. Depending on how a server is configured, this results in emails being sent to the administrator every time the cron job runs. It's trivial to change this to pass an environment variable instead, so as not to trigger the warning. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
