error mysqli connect The server requested authentication method unknown to the client caching sha2 password in

0 votes

I am using php mysqli_connect for login to a MySQL database (all on localhost)

<?php
//DEFINE ('DB_USER', 'user2');
//DEFINE ('DB_PASSWORD', 'pass2');
DEFINE ('DB_USER', 'user1');
DEFINE ('DB_PASSWORD', 'pass1');
DEFINE ('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1');
DEFINE ('DB_NAME', 'dbname');

$dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);

if(!$dbc){
    die('error connecting to database');    
}
?>

MySQL Server ini File:

[mysqld]
# The default authentication plugin to be used when connecting to the server
default_authentication_plugin=caching_sha2_password
#default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password

with caching_sha2_password in the MySQL Server ini file, it's not possible at all to login with user1 or user2;

error: mysqli_connect(): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [caching_sha2_password] in...

with mysql_native_password in the MySQL Server ini file, it's possible to login with user1, but with user2, same error;

How can I login using caching_sha2_password on the mySql Server?

Hello @kartik,

Use this SQL command:

ALTER USER 'mysqlUsername'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'mysqlUsernamePassword';

If you are creating a new user: 

CREATE USER 'jeffrey'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';

Hope it works!!
