General new application of the server, did not open 3306 port, anyway, I met, to use Navicat to connect to the Linux database, all must fill in two places of information, in order to link success.
If you want to connect to the database only by filling in the IP and the database username and password, you need to configure:
1. Add a rule to the security group in the server console: 3306, the port is connected to the database;
2. In the MySQL user table, modify the contents of the host, can be modified to%, that is, any IP can be connected, such as the red box content changed to%
Then restart the MySQL service, that is, service mysqld Restart, can not take the SSH channel, directly using IP and database user name and password to connect to the database.
Use Navicat to connect directly to a database on a linux server using IP, username, and password
