access denied and --login-path

[Emanuele Granucci]

Server version: 5.6.11 MySQL Community Server (GPL)
Cannot understand the following behaviour.

To execute code on command line, without password, I configured an alias by the command

mysql_config_editor set --login-path=my_maint --host=localhost --user=myusr --password


Suppose I have a file "do_something.sql" with sql code inside.
Trying to do that, I receive "Access denied" error:

# mysql --login-path=my_maint < do_something.sql
ERROR 1045 (28000) at line 2: Access denied for user 'myusr'@'localhost' (using password: YES)


but only if I redirect standard input.
Same command without redirection gives no error and logs in correctly:

# mysql --login-path=my_maint
