Thank you for the bug report. What you meant isn't working?. I got only an error message about the variable prompt but the secure process worked: c:\tmp\mysql-5.7.9-winx64>bin\mysql_secure_installation --defaults-file=c:\tmp\my.ini mysql_secure_installation: [ERROR] unknown variable 'prompt=\u@\h:\d>' Securing the MySQL server deployment. Enter password for user root: ************ The existing password for the user account root has expired. Please set a new password. New password: ****** Re-enter new password: ****** VALIDATE PASSWORD PLUGIN can be used to test passwords and improve security. It checks the strength of password and allows the users to set only those passwords which are secure enough. Would you like to setup VALIDATE PASSWORD plugin? Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No: No Using existing password for root. Change the password for root ? ((Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y New password: ****** Re-enter new password: ****** By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a production environment. Remove anonymous users? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : no ... skipping. Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network. Disallow root login remotely? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : no ... skipping. By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed before moving into a production environment. Remove test database and access to it? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : no ... skipping. Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far will take effect immediately. Reload privilege tables now? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y Success. All done!

Thank you for your reply. UPDATE: MySQL_secure_installation is using the default configuration file once there is a problem in the personal one. In my case I'm not using the default configuration file. I've added the prompt option in my personal one. If I run mysql_secure_installation --defaults-file=<path_to_personal_my.cnf> the tool is using the parameter (e.g. socket) out of the default my.cnf and therefore it is not working in my case. mysql_secure_installation: [ERROR] unknown variable 'prompt="\u@\h:\d>' Securing the MySQL server deployment. Enter password for user root: Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) If I run mysql_secure_installation --defaults--file=<path_to_personal_my.cnf> without the prompt option the tool is using the parameter out of my personal configuration file and everything is working: $ ./mysql_secure_installation --defaults-file=./my.cnf Securing the MySQL server deployment.
