Description Roman Mostyka 2008-06-16 17:56:34 UTC 
1. Start MySQL (set empty password).
2. Start IDE. MySQL will be automatically registered.
3. Create PHP project.
4. Press Alt+Insert and choose "Connection to Database...".
5. Select in dropdown list registered MySQL (should be something like "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306 [root on Default
schema]").

Result: "The password for the selected connection is unknown." message appears and "OK" button is disabled, since empty
password should work.

I guess this needs to be fixed in the database area. We need a way to distinguish between "unknown password" and "known,
but empty". Perhaps use null for the former and empty string for the latter.
Comment 2 Andrei Badea 2008-09-24 10:20:59 UTC 
I think this is too risky to fix for 6.5, since it affects connection management. I do not think it is an important
issue to begin with, since I do not think many users have empty passwords.
Comment 3 David Vancouvering 2008-11-14 21:45:54 UTC 
Will reconsider fixing this in 7.0 if we see some user reports around it.  I'm not sure how important supporting empty
passwords is.

Reassigned to new owner.
Comment 5 Jiri Rechtacek 2009-05-12 14:00:42 UTC 
No in plans to fix it.
