Until recently in DirectAdmin access to PHPMyAdmin required authentication. For this authentication is required a MySQL user with an associated password (usually this information can be found in the website configuration file).
To facilitate the use of PHPMyAdmin, DirectAdmin developers have added a new feature - SingleSignOn, which allows the automatic login of an authenticated user in PHPMyAdmin with a single click from the DirectAdmin interface. This feature has been disabled by default since October 2019.
In order to enable one-click login for phpMyAdmin run the following commands in the SSH console as root user:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/
./directadmin set one_click_pma_login 1 restart
cd custombuild
./build update
./build phpmyadminThe function can be found in the DirectAdmin user panel - User Dashboard → MySQL Management → Click "Login" on the same line with the desired database.
There is a PHPMyAdmin button at the top of the page that you can access to log in as a DirectAdmin user; this button allows you to manage all user databases in a single PHPMyAdmin interface.
