On the step MySQL IDO backend I always get a error when I click 'Validate Configuration'. What can I do?

Error:

Connection failed SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'icinga2'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

This manual is missing one very important line:

mysql -u root icingaweb2 -p < /usr/share/icinga2-ido-mysql/schema/mysql.sql

As a result you will get IDO backend validation error.

Priit, the installaer takes care of all that. If you are getting an IDO backend validation error, you've put the wrong db and/or username for the backend DB.
