MySQL "unauthenticated users" even if 'skip-name-resolve' is enabled - mysql

I'm facing an issue that i'm stuck...
We've MySQL version 5.5.21 and we've detected recently some "unauthenticated users" appears and disappears in the processlist. The DNS server is well and responding fastly. Even that, we use IP address to set privileges for MySQL users.
To be sure, i've enabled skip-name-resolve option in the my.cnf file and restart the service. But, these requests still appear so i conclude there's something else to check but i don't know what after many investigations.
I've read that these requests can paralyzed all the TCP pool of MySQL, but in my case there's not this issue at the moment.
So, is it a beggining of dysfunctions in my MySQL server or is it just a normal behavior ?
Thanks for your help

idea [08S01] Communications link failure

I just use IDEA recently and want to use IDEA to connect MySQL(8.0.12).but the IDEA indicate below
However, I use cmd could connect to my database,thus I did not configure out the problem.
I am in serah of many ways to solve this problem on tech forum but those are not working.
change mysql to lower version driver
set time_zone
add properties on url
There are a couple of things to check to solve the 'Communications links' failure.
One thing in particular is to check whether your MySQL server accepts TCP connections. In your terminal, it looks like you are using named pipes.
Make sure your MySQL server allows TCP connections; check for the bind-address configuration in mysql.ini under [mysqld] section. Its value should be at least 127.0.0.1, or set it as * to bind to all (not always a good idea).
Another point is the skip_networking configuration. Check if you have that, and remove and restart MySQL server. I believe this is set by default when you are installing MySQL.
(Also note that 8.0.17 is 'ancient' already).

Difference In Phpmyadmin Mysql web client and Terminal client

I got problem (#2006 Mysql server gone away) with mysql while connecting and performing some operations through web browser.
Operation Listed below:
When Executing big procedure
Importing database dump
When Access some particular tables It immediately throws "Server gone away".
Refer this question for Scenarios: Record Not Inserted - #2006 Mysql server gone away
Note : The above operations are works fine when I perform through terminal.
I tried some configuration as googing stated. That is set wait_timeout, max_allowed_packet. I checked for the bin_log but it is not available.
But the issues will not rectified.
What is the problem & How can I figure out & fix the issue?
what is the different between access phpmyadmin mysql server from web browser and terminal?
Where I can find the mysql server log file?
Note: If you know about any one of the above questions. Please post here. It would be helpful to trace.
Please help me to figure this out..
Thanks in advance...
Basically nothing except phpMyAdmin is limited by PHP's timeout and resource limits (limits to keep a runaway script from bogging down your entire machine for all eternity; see the docs for details of those values. In some cases, you might be authenticating through a different user account (for instance, root#localhost and root#127.0.0.1 aren't the same user), but as long as you're using a user with the same permissions the differences are minimal.
You can read more about logs in the MySQL manual, note that "By default, no logs are enabled (except the error log on Windows)".
Below are answer for question
From my research the problem is that browser have some limit to disconnect the connection i.e timeout connection. So that the above problem raised.
To resolve this problem
Go to /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin and open config.inc.php
add the command $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 0;
Restart the xamp server. Now you can perform any operations.
`
2. Web client is differ from terminal because Terminal client will not getting timeout. Terminal client maintain the connection till the progress completed. I recommenced to use command prompt to import/export/run process by safe way.
Basically phpmyadmin will not have any log file. If you wanna see warnings and error you should configure the log file.
Configuration steps:
Go to /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf
Add log_bin = /opt/lampp/var/mysql/filename.log
Restart the xamp server. You can get the log information.

Connecting to remote MySQL problems

Having a bit of a problem with mysql...
Mysql 5.1 on windows 2008 server iis7
Site on windows 2003 server iis6
[sorry but can't move to linux kids! ;)]
In the process of shifting a site to a new server so I have moved the database 1st and connected the site to the new database. I tested the connection before moving but now the site is connecting to the new database I am having problems....
connecting via PDO the page hangs for an age before getting 'too many connections' error. Monitoring the server I see MANY threads of: 'unathenticated user' from the ip address of the host the site runs on.
I also see a thread for the connection with the correct user name in my config file and I am a total loss as to what is going on.
Any help would be very much appreciated
'unathenticated user' from the ip address of the host the site runs on
A stab in the dark, but this could be some script or process trying to connect to the database server with wrong or empty credentials.
Also, here's a report from somebody who had similar problems - in that case, it was the DNS lookup that caused the problem.
I had a similar situation on my setup where the database lived on a different host than
the webserver. I found the "unauthenticated users" were connections from the webserver
that were hanging on DNS lookups. Don't know if this is a mysql bug or a bug with my
firewall / other setup, but a couple of fixes I found were...
1) start mysql with --skip-name-resolve (you may have to change your mysql permission
tables to have the host's IP instead of hostname, including localhost)
or 2) add the connecting host to your /etc/hosts file.

Why is connecting to MySQL server so slow?

I use JDBC to connect to MySQL. When it’s at localhost:3306, everything is OK.
But when I move my application to another computer in the intranet, and use <Intranet-IP>:3306 to connect to the MySQL database, it takes about 1 minute to connect to MySQL successfully. What’s up with this?
Well it could be a DNS problem. You can disable DNS host name lookups by starting mysqld with the --skip-name-resolve option in the configuration file.
Read here for more details: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/host-cache.html
The --skip-name-resolve worked great for me.
To make it permanent, I just add this line at the end of file my.ini in the [mysql] section:
skip-name-resolve
And voilá! Transactions now fly!
For me it was this solution I found here, If IP6 connectivity is enabled, connection to "localhost" may be slow, instead use the ip address, 127.0.0.1. This worked for me.
my mysql slow to connect problem was solved by this solution
firewalls, Internet, routing etc etc slows down your connection.
You should put your database on a intra net instead. Keep it local and behind your big firewall. You can of course have firewall and security between computers. I'd recommend that you didn't expose your mysql database connection to the Internet unfiltered that way.
comment / finding to a really REALLY old question.
background - typical: connecting from windows (various) to sql server on win or linux server slow ... multiple seconds (even from win client on VBox to server on same host)
skip-name-resolve, dns-bind - tried all sorts, regardless no effect.
Looked at the manual - connection string options - no time to learn what they mean, one-by-one set-and-try - as long as nothing breaks.
adding sslmode=none; to connection string ... connecting in literally less than 1/10th the time. sub-second connections, milliseconds!
Note:
It's in a small office private LAN so don't GAS any security FUD
... It works ... I'll take it.

Users can't connect remotely to MySQL

Problem
Users from other IPs on the (Windows XP) LAN suddenly cannot connect to my local MySQL server.
Background
I've set up MySQL on my local Windows computer so that other computers on the network have access to the root account. I've added each IP as a host for root. Up to some weeks ago, things worked flawlessly and I could connect to the server programatically and using various MySQL admin tools. Now, however, the MySQL server simply refuses connections from those IPs and I can't figure out why.
The network changes that I've done are: changing network card for two (of three) computers and fiddled around with MySQL settings. None of which should have caused this problem. I've tried adding a new user with all relevant hosts, but I get the same type of error:
MySQL Error number 1045 Access denied
for user 'root'#'shop' (using
passwords: YES)
The odd part is that the computer name, 'shop', is used instead of the IP. I don't know why.
Somehow, IPs seem to be resolved now and hostnames are used. Did you grant access to root#shop? Did you flush privileges?
First thing that pops into mind is Windows Firewall, which could have got re-enabled if you swapped NICs on the host computer.
My next suggestion would be to use a sniffer like Wireshark on the host computer and see what exactly happens packet-wise. You can use filters to make to reduce the output - they're very simple and easy to use. This tool has saved me countless hours of debugging.
-EDIT-
Another possible cause might be that your server somehow decided to resolve IPs to hostnames, in which case ip addresses may no longer work - one would need to add hostnames to the allowed list. Not sure if it works this way for MySQL though.
Could you have turned off TCP connections in MySQL?
Also, is the MySQL port open in your firewall?
If you changed your IP (DHCP?), make sure to correct it in my.cnf if you bound mysqld to your lan ip:
[mysqld]
...
bind-address=192.168.x.y
