Change Database Passwords for MySQL

Please complete the following steps to change the passwords for the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform users of the Alteryx databases.

Change in Database Server

1. If you have not done so already, switch to the MySQL user and launch:
   
   

   sudo su - mysql
   mysql

2. For each database, change the default password. Default usernames are listed for each database. Please modify the command if you are using different roles and insert a more secure password for <new_pwd>:
   
   

   NOTE: In MySQL, the dash is a forbidden character in usernames. Please use underscores instead.

   ALTER USER 'trifacta'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<new_pwd>';
   ALTER USER 'trifactaactiviti'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<new_pwd>';
   ALTER USER 'trifactaschedulingservice'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<new_pwd>';
   ALTER USER 'trifactatimebasedtriggerservice'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<new_pwd>';
   ALTER USER 'trifactaconfigurationservice'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<new_pwd>';
   ALTER USER 'trifactasartifactstorageservice'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<new_pwd>';
   ALTER USER 'trifactajobmetadataservice'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<new_pwd>';

3. Exit:

   \q
   exit

Change in Alteryx configuration

1. You can apply this change through the Admin Settings Page (recommended) or trifacta-conf.json. For more information, see Platform Configuration Methods.
