MariaDB Academy: Authentication from MariaDB 10.4, and Account Locking and Password Expiry

This week sees the release of Authentication from MariaDB 10.4 on the MariaDB Foundation YouTube channel.

The latest in the series of video tutorials, it provides an overview of what’s changed with authentication from MariaDB 10.4, and looks in particular at unix_socket authentication. Although you’ll hopefully no longer need it, in case you have reverted to the old password authentication model, there’s the ubiqutous “how to restore access if you’ve lost your password” tutorial as well.

Continuing the MariaDB 10.4 theme, last week saw the release of Account Locking and Password Expiry by MariaDB Foundation software developer Robert Bindar.
