    Hello,

    I added an IP (say 1.2.3.4) on a server in WHM > Additional MySQL Access Hosts.

    And added it to all cPanels by clicking --- "After you have done this, if you would like to configure access from all users' accounts, Click Here.". I could see 1.2.3.4 was added under all cPanels of the server under 'Remote MySQL Hosts'.

    Now I want to remove this IP completely, so I removed from WHM and again clicked to configure all clients, but this does not remove 1.2.3.4 from all cPanels. How can I do this?

    Hi,

    I think this is because of the cpanel cache.Could you please check your ip address is exists in the dir /var/cpanel/databases

    you can run the command grep ip /var/cpanel/databases/* , if its exists you can update the cache by running the cpanel binary " /usr/local/cpanel/bin/setupdbmap "

    Please check this from your end and update this post.Your reply is much appreciated ....

    Same issue, and the above did not resolve it. Seems there is no 'undo' for the 'do'.

    Hi Tam,

    After a bit of research, I could find that it's all stored in --

    Code:
    /var/cpanel/databases/grants_cpuser.yaml
    in format --

    Code:
    ---
MYSQL:
  cpuser:
    cpuser:
      - GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'cpuser'@'1.2.3.4' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
      - GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'cpuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
    cpuser => users which show the IP under cPanel > Remote Database Access Hosts
    1.2.3.4 => The IP which we applied to all and couldn't be removed.

    It would be best if someone from cPanel can have a word on 'How Safe is to remove that line?'.

    Removing the line only removes the mapping for the cPanel file. It doesn't remove the SQL in the /var/lib/mysql/mysql table that stores the grants for the IPs. You'd have to remove them in MySQL command line, or in each individual cPanel.

    Tristan,

    I have checked the tables in db 'mysql' and the IP was not there. Could it be due to removing the IP from WHM and running for all account by clicking "click here".

    I mean I made the remote host textarea blank in WHM and then came back and updated for all users, which did update something for all users one by one in GUI. That probably removed the grants from mysql actually which you are referring to.

    It's always best to test, if possible, could you please test it's behavior on your test machine?

    In my tests, this did not occur. If I removed the IP in WHM > Additional MySQL Access Hosts area, then clicked "Save", I receive an error message:

    Next, if I then click the "Click Here" link below that, while it does show the various users updating, when I check /var/lib/mysql/mysql database, the mysql.user table still lists the IP under the database users who had it previously added as a Host.

    My test machine is running cPanel EDGE 11.31.3.3
