Description

I think there should be a possibility to: not provide username & password in config.js and instead require the user to provide user & pw when connecting to the node-server (which will then be used for executing queries on the mysql-server)

Research direction

Start by reading config.js and the connection path in the node-server to understand how credentials are currently configured and passed to the MySQL server. Define the connection behavior when credentials are omitted from config.js, including how supplied credentials are used for queries, and verify the behavior with the relevant connection tests.
