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
------------------

::
 
13
 
 
14
   drizzle_state_handshake_result_read:old insecure authentication mechanism not supported
 
15
 
 
16
This error happens because the Drizzle client is trying to connect to a MySQL
 
17
server which has the password stored in the Old Password (or pre-MySQL-4.1)
 
18
format.  This is typically seen when connecting to a stock RedHat or CentOS
 
19
MySQL installation.
 
20
 
 
21
To resolve this, look for the old-passwords option in your MySQL configuration
 
22
and disable it.  Then update the password for the user you are trying to connect
 
23
with using the ``SET PASSWORD`` syntax so that it can be re-recorded in the
 
24
newer password format.
