# # MySQL 8.0.4 introduced 'caching_sha2_password' as its default authentication plugin. # It is faster and provides better security then the previous default authentication plugin. # # Until now (09/2018), it does not work with some other software (eg. MariaDB client, MariaDB connectors, ...) # # This configuration file changes MySQL default server configuration, so it behaves the same way as in MySQL 5.7. # # To change the behaviour back to the upstream default, comment out the following lines: [mysqld] default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password
