MySQL5.6.6版本之后增加了密码强度验证插件validate_password，相关参数设置的较为严格。
影响的语和函数有：create user,grant,set password,password(),old password。
1、查看mysql全局参数配置
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'validate_password%';
+--------------------------------------+--------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------------------------+--------+
| validate_password_dictionary_file | |
| validate_password_length | 8 |
| validate_password_mixed_case_count | 1 |
| validate_password_number_count | 1 |
| validate_password_policy | MEDIUM |
| validate_password_special_char_count | 1 |
+--------------------------------------+--------+
6 rows in set (0.08 sec)
2、参数解释
validate_password_dictionary_file
插件用于验证密码强度的字典文件路径。
validate_password_length
密码最小长度，参数默认为8，它有最小值的限制，最小值为：validate_password_number_count + validate_password_special_char_count + (2 * validate_password_mixed_case_count)
validate_password_mixed_case_count
密码至少要包含的小写字母个数和大写字母个数。
validate_password_number_count
密码至少要包含的数字个数。
validate_password_policy
密码强度检查等级，0/LOW、1/MEDIUM、2/STRONG。有以下取值：
Policy Tests Performed
0 or LOW Length
1 or MEDIUM Length; numeric, lowercase/uppercase, and special characters
2 or STRONG Length; numeric, lowercase/uppercase, and special characters; dictionary file
默认是1，即MEDIUM，所以刚开始设置的密码必须符合长度，且必须含有数字，小写或大写字母，特殊字符。
validate_password_special_char_count
密码至少要包含的特殊字符数。
3、修改mysql参数配置
mysql> set global validate_password_policy=0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)
mysql> set global validate_password_mixed_case_count=0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> set global validate_password_number_count=3;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> set global validate_password_special_char_count=0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> set global validate_password_length=3;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'validate_password%';
+--------------------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------------------------+-------+
| validate_password_dictionary_file | |
| validate_password_length | 3 |
| validate_password_mixed_case_count | 0 |
| validate_password_number_count | 3 |
| validate_password_policy | LOW |
| validate_password_special_char_count | 0 |
+--------------------------------------+-------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
(tip：MySQL8.0 以上版本改变如下：
+--------------------------------------+--------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------------------------+--------+
| validate_password.check_user_name | ON |
| validate_password.dictionary_file | |
| validate_password.length | 8 |
| validate_password.mixed_case_count | 1 |
| validate_password.number_count | 1 |
| validate_password.policy | MEDIUM |
| validate_password.special_char_count | 1 |
+--------------------------------------+--------+)
4、添加用户且设置简单的密码
mysql> grant replication slave on *.* to 'replicate'@'127.0.0.1' identified by '123';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
