Hi Fernando, Thank you for the bug report. The clients called from MySQL Fabric does not use the password in the "servers" section of the configuration file, but will use the password in the "client" section instead. The reason for this is that the password should not be given on the command-line and be visible in, e.g., the ps(1) output, so instead the fabric.cfg file is used as if it was a .cnf file and passed using the --defaults-extra-file option to the command. Could you try setting the password in the "client" section instead and see if it solves the problem?

Hi Fernando. I assume that the suggestion above solved the problem, so similar to BUG#73211 I interpret this bug as a feature request to merge the two sections into one and always use that for contacting the managed servers.

Hello Mats, As with the other bug, I agree this is a good solution for my problem. Thanks.
Description: Given these lines in fabric.cfg: [servers] user = fabric password = f4bric an attempt to split a shard fails with this error: vagrant@store ~]$ mysqlfabric sharding split_shard 1 salaries-3 --split_value=8000 Procedure : { uuid = 901854ba-d2af-4a7e-a435-dd152e54cfdd, finished = True, success = False, return = BackupError: ('Error while taking backup using MySQLDump\n, %s', "mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'fabric'@'192.168.70.100' (using password: NO) when trying to connect\n"), activities = } Other commands such as group promote or add_shard work ok How to repeat: Attempt to split a shard in a setup where the mysql user used to connect to servers has a password.
