Drizzle Client Errors
 
2
=====================
 
3

Various errors can occur when trying to use the Drizzle command line clients,
 
5
this is a list of some of these and how to deal with them:

Old Password Error
 
10
------------------
 
11
*drizzle_state_handshake_result_read:old insecure authentication mechanism not supported*
 
12
 
 
13
This error happens because the Drizzle client is trying to connect to a MySQL
 
14
server which has the password stored in the Old Password (or pre-MySQL-4.1)
 
15
format.  This is typically seen when connecting to a stock RedHat or CentOS
 
16
MySQL installation.
 
17
 
 
18
To resolve this, look for the old-passwords option in your MySQL configuration
 
19
and disable it.  Then update the password for the user you are trying to connect
 
20
with using the 'SET PASSWORD' syntax so that it can be re-recorded in the newer
 
21
password format.
