MySQL: creating a user that can connect from multiple hosts
- by DrStalker
I'm using MySQL and I need to create an account that can connect from either the localhost of from another server, 10.1.1.1. So I am doing:
CREATE USER 'bob'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password123';
CREATE USER 'bob'@'10.1.1.1 IDENTIFIED BY 'password123';
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE on MyDatabse.* to 'bob'@'localhost', 'bob'@'10.1.1.1;
This works fine, but is there any more elegant way to create a user account that is linked to multiple IPs or does it need to be done this way? My main worry is that in the future permissions will be updated form 'bob' account and not the other.
