Hello, A new question has been asked in "MariaDB Documentation" by cisaksen. Please answer it at http://mariadb.com/kb/en/login-question/ as the person asking the question may not be subscribed to the mailing list. -------------------------------- I'm trying to log into a remote MairaDB and keep getting Host [IP] is not allowed to connect to this mariadb server. {client side} tried both mysql -p --port=3307 -h [hostname] mysql -p --port=3307 -h [hostname.domain.xxx] {server side} mysql login accounts tried user/root @ %.domain.xxx user/root @ hostname% Both client and server are in DNS and resolvable. What or how does mariadb determine when to use an IP vs hostname with connection security ? -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://mariadb.com/kb/en/login-question/
