Short answer

For a self-hosted Sanplex installation, the database username and password are stored in the database connection configuration. Open /sanplex/config/my.php and review the db->user and db->password values.

In this article

Retrieve the configured credentials

  1. Open /sanplex/config/my.php on the Sanplex server.
  2. Find $config->db->user and review the configured database username.
  3. Find $config->db->password and review the configured database password.
  4. Use the credentials only in the approved database administration tool for that environment.

Important: Treat my.php as sensitive configuration. Do not share screenshots, logs or copies containing database credentials, and restrict file access to authorized administrators.

Note: If the file shows a credential that no longer works, coordinate the database-account change with the Sanplex configuration so the application can still connect after the password is updated.
