removing the listing of all databses
Hi could anyone please tell me how i could configure the program to NOT show a list of all the databases on a server, only the database/s for the user loggin in.
(basically i dont want all users to see the databases that dont concern them, only ones to which they have permissions)

You will have to ask your hosting company to re-configure the MYSQL configurations to only list your databases. Unfortunately, there is NOTHING within MySQLMan that can prevent this.

This is a problem with Virtual server accounts.

And this has been discussed in this forum before.

Well that isnt entirely true because phpMyAdmin has the ability to list only the databases that the logged in user has access to. Maybe brianshawa can look at the phpMyAdmin code to see how they do it and then somehow modify MySQLMan to do the same.

Hi,

If you use the direct_connect feature, you will be able to send the user to only one database. The tricky part is under multiple users, setting direct_connect to the proper database/username/password.

Cheers,

Alex
