Warning

In this installation of MySQL AI, the MySQL Shell GUI server and the MySQL REST server both run on the same host as the MySQL Server, and they allow a user to access the MySQL server through them from a remote host, even if the user has been restricted to connect only from localhost (or 127.0.0.1 for IPv4, or ::1 for IPV6). System administrators may want to prevent that from happening, especially if their systems are going on production. Possible measures that can be taken include:

  • Disallow certain users (for example, the server administrator) from connecting by HTTP connections, but only allow connections by, for example, Unix sockets with the auth_socket authentication plugin. See Socket Peer-Credential Pluggable Authentication.

  • Do not install the MySQL Shell GUI and MySQL REST Service.
