## Configuring Servers
Read the [Configuring Servers](Configuring-Servers.md) mini-tutorial to see how
the servers are configured.
## Configuring the Monitor
The next step is the configuration of the monitor. This depends on the type of
cluster you use with MaxScale.
For master-slave clusters read the
[Configuring MariaDB Monitor](Configuring-MariaDB-Monitor.md)
tutorial. If you are using a Galera cluster, read the

## Configuring the Service
We want two different ports to which the client application can connect; one
that will be directed to a server where writes can be sent and another that will
load balance between all servers. To achieve this, we need to define two

parameters that define the credentials that the service will use to populate the
user authentication data. To create this user, execute the following SQL commands.
```
CREATE USER 'maxscale'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'maxscale_pw';
GRANT SELECT ON mysql.user TO 'maxscale'@'%';
GRANT SELECT ON mysql.db TO 'maxscale'@'%';
GRANT SELECT ON mysql.tables_priv TO 'maxscale'@'%';
GRANT SHOW DATABASES ON *.* TO 'maxscale'@'%';
```
**Note:** For increased security [encrypt your passwords in the configuration file](Encrypting-Passwords.md).
This completes the definitions required by the services, however listening ports
must be associated with the services in order to allow network connections. This
is done by creating a set of listener sections. Each service may have multiple
listeners but for this tutorial we will only need one per service.
## Configuring the Listener
In order to allow network connections to the service, we must associate a network
port with the service. This is done by creating a separate listener section in
the configuration file. A service may have multiple listeners but for this
tutorial we will only need one per service.
