# MySQL Storage Backend
|
||
|
||
The MySQL storage backend is used to persist Vault's data in a [MySQL][mysql]
|
||
server or cluster.
|
||
|
||
- **No High Availability** – the MySQL storage backend does not support high
|
||
availability.
|
||
|
||
- **Community Supported** – the MySQL storage backend is supported by the
|
||
community. While it has undergone review by HashiCorp employees, they may not
|
||
be as knowledgeable about the technology. If you encounter problems with them,
|
||
you may be referred to the original author.
|
||
|
||
```hcl
|
||
storage "mysql" {
|
||
username = "user1234"
|
||
password = "secret123!"
|
||
database = "vault"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## `mysql` Parameters
|
||
|
||
- `address` `(string: "127.0.0.1:3306")` – Specifies the address of the MySQL
|
||
host.
|
||
|
||
- `database` `(string: "vault")` – Specifies the name of the database. If the
|
||
database does not exist, Vault will attempt to create it.
|
||
|
||
- `table` `(string: "vault")` – Specifies the name of the table. If the table
|
||
does not exist, Vault will attempt to create it.
|
||
|
||
- `tls_ca_file` `(string: "")` – Specifies the path to the CA certificate to
|
||
connect using TLS.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, Vault requires the following authentication information.
|
||
|
||
- `username` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the MySQL username to connect to
|
||
the database.
|
||
|
||
- `password` `(string: <required)` – Specifies the MySQL password to connect to
|
||
the database.
|
||
|
||
## `mysql` Examples
|
||
|
||
### Custom Database and Table
|
||
|
||
This example shows configuring the MySQL backend to use a custom database and
|
||
table name.
|
||
|
||
```hcl
|
||
storage "mysql" {
|
||
database = "my-vault"
|
||
table = "vault-data"
|
||
username = "user1234"
|
||
password = "pass5678"
|
||
}
|
||
```
