Description of problem: phpMyAdmin requires this setting in the config file for cookie based authentication: +/* + * This is needed for cookie based authentication to encrypt password in + * cookie + */ $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ''; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE AUTH! */ But this is only mentioned in the /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config.sample.inc.php file and not in the /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php file Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): phpMyAdmin-2.11.9.6-1.el5
Thanks for your report. I'm tempted to solve this together with bug #540891.
A simple enhancement would also be to add a %post scriptlet that automatically generates a 56byte random secret when the package is installed the first time.
