passing credentials. If none are present, the module will attempt to read
the credentials from C(~/.my.cnf), and finally fall back to using the MySQL
default login of 'root' with no password.
- MySQL server installs with default login_user of 'root' and no password. To secure this user
as part of an idempotent playbook, you must create at least two tasks: the first must change the root user's password,
without providing any login_user/login_password details. The second must drop a ~/.my.cnf file containing
the new root credentials. Subsequent runs of the playbook will then succeed by reading the new credentials from
the file.
