phpMyAdmin allow remote users

phpMyAdmin is a web-based tool for managing MySQL and MariaDB databases. By default, it is configured to only allow access from localhost (the machine it is installed on). However, it is possible to configure phpMyAdmin to allow remote users to access the tool by modifying the configuration file. This can be done by editing the "config.inc.php" file and changing the value of the "auth_type" variable from "cookie" to "http." This allows users to log in to phpMyAdmin using their web server credentials.

It is important to note that allowing remote access to phpMyAdmin can be a security risk, as it allows anyone with the login credentials to access and potentially modify the databases on the server. Therefore, it is recommended to use a strong password and to restrict access to only trusted users. Also, it is recommended to use a VPN or other secure method to connect to the server when using phpMyAdmin remotely.
