 To add custom MySQL configuration, place additional files into `includedir`. This allows you to override settings or add additional ones, which is helpful if you don't use `override_options` in `mysql::server`. The `includedir` location is by default set to `/etc/mysql/conf.d`.

+
+If you want the password managed by puppet for `127.0.0.1` and `::1` as an end user you would need to explicitly manage them with additional manifest entries. For example:

+```puppet
+mysql_user{ '[[email protected]]':

+    password_hash => mysql::password($mysql::server::root_password),           
+}    
+ 
+mysql_user{ 'root@::1':       
+    ensure        => present,       
+    password_hash => mysql::password($mysql::server::root_password),    
+} 
+```
