The phpMyAdmin interface provides a web interface for viewing and managing MySQL databases. By default, you can log in to the Database Server using the phpMyAdmin interface to view and manage the MySQL databases on all Database Servers, Data Collectors, and Message Collectors in the system.

Disabling phpMyAdmin

To disable phpMyAdmin, you must disable the service and then disable the ports on which the service runs. To do this:

1. If you are using a distributed system, either go to the console of the Database Server or use SSH to access the Database Server. Open a shell session on the server. Log in as an administrator.
2. If you are using an All-In-One Appliance, either go to the console of the All-In-One Appliance or use SSH to access the All-In-One Appliance. Open a shell session on the server. Log in as an administrator.

NOTE: For details on enabling and using SSH, see the manual System Administration. For details and warnings about root access and instructions on how to make root access secure, see the manual System Administration.

3. Edit the file /etc/siteconfig/firewalld-rich-rules.siteconfig:

   sudo vifirewalld

4. Add the following lines:

   rule service name="phpmyadmin" reject\
   rule port port="8008" protocol="tcp" reject

5. Save your changes and exit the file (:wq).
