Description

Description

In my Azure TRE deployment I am trying to access a MySQL service that I've deployed in my workspace. The MySQL service details tab gives me the host name, but I don't have the username or password that I need to connect to it.

Looking in the Terraform code, it's clear a random password is generated, but how do I find out what it is?

Bonus points, there doesn't seem to be any documentation for the MySQL service in the AzureTRE documentation site?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Terraform code that generates the random MySQL password and the credentials exposed by the workspace's MySQL service details tab. Check the AzureTRE documentation site for the missing MySQL service guidance; done means documenting how users find the username and password needed to connect from the VM.
