Windows Authentication


I would like to a Windows Authentication with MySQL (similar to the Windows Authentication available for SQL Server).

Does anyone knows how it can be done?

Windows Authentication
Can MySQL use windows authentication?
If so, what are the changes to the connection string for this?

Authentication
I'm new with mysql and I feel very stupid for having to ask this but I'm trying to program against it and I don't know what my username and pw are. When I installed it, I put in a pw so I'm pretty sure I know what that is, but what is the username I should be using when trying to execute sql commands against it with php?

Authentication
Is there any config file or update to have MySQL use HPUX authentication or NT authentication. for the Windows apps. (Query browser and MySQL Administrator)

Authentication
i want to make a user that can only see one database here with a seperate limited access.

Authentication
I am trying to set the root password, but all I get is:

$ ./mysqladmin -u root password <newpassword>
./mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

I have no problems connecting like this:

./mysql -u mysql

In the latter case, I cannot do anything. For example

mysql> CREATE DATABASE one;
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''0'localhost' to database 'MoonlightDB'

Slow Authentication
MySQL V 5.0.18 on SUSE 10.1

I'm not a complete *nix noob, but I sure as hell ain't a *nix or MySQL pro.

This is a new installation. Everything screaming fast. Unless it deals w/authentication.

Try to get in w/SQLyog from W2K locally ... intitial connection takes ~20 seconds. Then everything screaming fast.

Web Server (W03) attempts to connect via MyODBC ... same result ... initial connection takes ~20 seconds. Subsequent queries screaming fast.

VNC into the box at any time ... everything fast. (would seem to eliminate network/connection issues)

Authentication To MySQL
i have one problem with l'authentication to the MySQL;
I am using the language Java and i access to the data-base in following

db = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/" +
nomeDB + "?user=" + nomeUtente + "&password=" + pwdUtente);

but I do not want insert pwdUtente and nomeUtente in the source-code,
What can i do?

Encryption / Authentication
I need to find out if it's possible to do two things with mysql. The =
first is external authentication, preferably with kerberos5, but PAM =
will work as well. Second, encrypting the data stream. Specifically =
with jdbc connections.

User Authentication
I do know how to create user logins and such.what I need to know is once a user logs in and submits his data (CSV) to Mysql DB,how do i ensure that the data goes into his account.In other words,whats the best way to manage user accounts and control the data that goes into that.

Authentication Protocol
I am trying to run an application using MySQL as a DB, but i am receiving the following error message:
"Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"
I am using MySQL Client Version 5.0.11
Could someone tell how can I fix this issue.

MySQL And PHP Authentication
I'm getting the following error while trying to connect via php to an existant mysql (local) server:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client.
I have latest PHP and MySQL installed.

This seems like the password problem (new password system now) the older was 16 bits right? Thing is... My PHP should support this, its 5.x and I have latest mysql as well.

Authentication Protocol
I am running winXP, mysql, vb 6.0/vbscript.
when i connect through odbc it gave me the following error.
Run-time error'-2147467259 (800004005)

When i connect this mysql with vb 6.0/vbscript in windows 98 it runs perfectly.

Passwords / Authentication
I have just started messing around with MySQL and something I find weird is that we connecting using localhost, if I supply the password, it will not authenticate...if I leave the password off, it's fine.If I connect from another machine, it requires the password or it will not authenticate.Is that normal?

Authentication Protocol
I recently had a crash with MySQL-Max 4.0.5beta in the Windows 2000 Server inviroment. I uninstalled it completely and salvaged the DATA directories. So i decided to go ahead and upgrade the MySQL to Server 4.1.7. But now I get an error message from all my scripts that tell me the following.
Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL
Can some one please assist me in fixing this matter. I am very limited in MySQL and have done hours of research trying to fix this matter.

Support Authentication
i have installed php4.4 with iis and mysql5 and phpmyadmin is 2.5 version and mysql administration tool too i get the error client does not support authentication protocol,
i will be very pleased if someone suggest a good workin version for all mysql php and phpmyadmin

Authentication Protocol
I am having trouble with my MySQL database, so when I run a script I receive the following error:
'Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in c:wwwdcdjpaneldatabasedb.php on line 27
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client'
I understand that it has something to do with old db access libraries. I really don't understand the instructions to be done, so if I could be provided with a full-detail list of instructions on fixing this error, I'd appreciate it.
By-the-way, I looked into the documentation of the MySQL software and looked at the website for support, which was a little pricy for one needed solution.

Authentication Protocol
A problem with MYSQL Front 3.1 that will not connect.
I understand that there is a problem with MySQL changing the password hasing functions in ver 4.
One solution is to start the server with the --old-passwords flag, how do i add the flag??

Best Approach To User Authentication?
So I'm setting up a php/mysql driven website on our company's intranet. I need to setup username's and passwords for different individuals because they all need access to different parts of the site.

Now I'm reading up on how to do user authentication. One way I am reading about, involves creating a username/password table in the database, and when the user attempts to login in some generic php/html form, the php logs into the database using a generic login/password, then checks to see if the user's login/password match up with what is in the table.

That's an interesting way to do it. But the thing that is odd to me is that you actually log into the database using a generic login/password (hidden in the php script) and you would simply have to control what the user has access to in your frontend code, based off their login.

MySQL has it's own user authentication system in place, where you create logins and passwords for the database and control what databases and tables they have access to and control what they can do with them. So why wouldn't you do it this way?

Sorry if this sounds confusing, but hopefully users experienced in this understand where I am coming from.

Authentication / Permission Basics
I have a number of users like 'fred', who can access MySQL 4.1 from %.fredworld.com. He has full access to his own database, fred. No other permissions defined.

What's the best way for me to allow every user to connect from localhost. After reading up on http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/connection-access.html I thought the answer might be to do:

insert into user (host, user) values ('localhost', '');
flush privileges;

but this doesn't do what I want. How should I go about this?

MySql / Php Authentication Problems
whenever I try to access mySql, I alway's get the following error:

#1251 - Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

A little extra info (if needed):
-I just installed php v 4.3.1, apache 2, and mySQL 4.1
-It's all on my laptop (if it makes a diffrence)
-It's on a windows platform

Client Does Not Support Authentication
The problem is that when i browse to http://reception/admin/index.php? and enter username and password I recieve the following message

1251 - Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

But i can log into mysql using the command prompt

Mysql User Table For Authentication
What is the best way to store usernames/password information within a mysql Table? Is there a way to encrypt the columns that house this data?

Fields In Users Db Table For Authentication
which fields do you place in your db for user authenication?

for example..:
CREATE TABLE `users` (
`id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`Username` VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL default '',
`Password` VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL default '',
`Lastlogin` datetime default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `username` (`username`)
) ENGINE=MYISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin;

i wonder for some more useful fields for software logging/management people sometimes (or seldom :-)) use like:
lastip
createdon
lastlogin
active ('yes', 'no', 'banned') -

Connection String Authentication To My Server
I'm having a tough time figuring out the proper connection string to connect to my existing database.

Using:
* MySQL server 4.0 on a remote Linux Server.
* Developing in VS 2005 (VB) on a PC that is apart of our corporate MS domain.
* Downloaded and installed Connector/Net 2.0

Problem:
I'm using the connection string: ("server={0}; user id={1}; password={2}; database=test; pooling=false", server.Text, userid.Text, password.Text)

When executed with userid="sam" the error message that is returned is "Access denied for user: "sam@<mypc>.<corporatedomain>.com"

When executed with the userid="sam@<remotehost> the error message returned is "Access denied for user "sam@<remotehost>@<mypc>.<corporatedomain>.com". No matter what I do, the connector keeps appending my current domain id to the end of the user string.

"sam" is a authorized user for the MySQL on the remote linux host (been using it for years).

Client Does Not Support Authentication Protocol
If I create a user, say 'dbadmin' with full access on hosts 'All' and 'localhost' I cannot connect using PHP. I get the error:

mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client.

If I make the connection with root on any of the local IP addresses the connection is fine and the database updates correctly.

Any thoughts? I suspect a problem with the use of the socket, but phpinfo() correctly returns the mysql settings.

Support Authentication Protocol Upgrade
I have been using a script on my server for 2 years today I get this message Is it the script or the server?

Authentication Problem On Nonstandard Port
I am running two database instances of mysql (one on a nonstandard
port). After granting users permissions I find that I can access
mysql from other machines only if I use the standard port. When I use
the non-standard port I can only authenticate if I am on the box where
the database is running. Also some previously set up users can
authenticate through the non-standard port (sadly no one knows how
those users were set up). What do I need to do to allow for
authentication on the nonstandard port ex:

mysql -h<HOST> -u<USERNAME> -p
(defaulting to standard port works)
mysql -h<HOST> -u<USERNAME> -P<NON-STANDARD PORT> -p
(fails)

1251 Client Does Not Support Authentication Protocol ....

Authentication Trouble About Mysqldump: Error 1045
I got a quite strange problem when I tried to setup a database backup
shell. I put it this way:

"bin/mysqldump --opt --user=xxx --password=xxx DB > DB.bak"
However, error 1045 came to me to say "Access denied for user
'xxx'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect".
None the less, I'm absolutely full of confidence on my correct username
and password, simply because if I do it this way:

"bin/mysqldump --opt --user=xxx DB > DB.bak",and input the same
password, everything goes well.
Could you please give me some suggestion concerning the issue?

Client Does Not Support Authentication Protocol Requested By Server

#1251 - Client Does Not Support Authentication Protocol Requested By Server; ...
I am trying to get phpmyadmin working with mysql but I get the below errors...
Why is this??

"phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in config.inc.php and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server."

and...

" #1251 - Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client "

changes in config.inc.php file:

$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://localhost/phpmyadmin/'

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'pword'


Any ideas if I am missing something?

ERROR 1251: Client Does Not Support Authentication Protocol Requested
I have a problem with a MySQL environment.

- One server (Windows)
- Two instances of mysql (4.0.27 & 5.x.x)
- Each instance are running as a service with a different port number (tcp 3307/3306)
- Both services are set up with their own parameter files, so they point to the correct binary and data directory

When I try to log on through the console against  the MySQL 5 database by starting c:program filesmysql5inmysql, then everything is working as it should.

If I try to do the same against the Mysql 4 database, it returns an error that the client does not support the authentication protocol requested.

Remote Access Not Working: Error 1251 Client Does Not Support Authentication Protocol Requested By Server
I'm trying to set up my MySQL database for remote access. I've never been a DB admin so this is all mostly new to me. I am binding to my public IP address, and I have created a new user with the following grant commands run from the mysql command line on the server:

mysql> grant all privileges on prs_data.* to 'username'@'%' identified by 'change';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> grant all privileges on prs_data.* to 'username'@'localhost' identified by 'change';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

When I try to connect remotely from another host, here's what happens:

Client Does Not Support Authentication Protocol Requested By Server; Consider Upgrading MySQL Client In

I request you guys to help me in soughting this out and I appreciate your patience in reading my post.

Mysql_connect(): Client Does Not Support Authentication Protocol Requested By Server; Consider Upgrading MySQL Client
I am having an awkward problem with my MySQL installation. I have a number of scripts that access the database from a few different web hosting sites. I have no problem accessing the database from the scripts that I host locally. The scripts that are on an outside server accessing the database gives me a mysql_connect() error.

Locally I use MySQL 5.0 and PHP 5.0. I am assuming that the 3rd party web host uses an older version of PHP and thinking that may be the problem. Is this the possible problem and if so is there a way to fix it without ruining the scripts that are currently working?

QNX To Windows
I have a MySQL database configured on a Windows machine and I need to connect into that machine from a QNX machine. Does anyone know if there is available a MySQL connection driver for QNX? I haven't found anything in the web site.

Windows XP
I just installed MySQL on Windows XP.

I have the most basic questions:
1] How do I start and stop MySQL.
2] How do I connect.
3] How do I create a user, set password and privaledges.
4] How do I create a table, set column, set column attributes.

Basically, is their any tutorial for the absolute beginner in MySQL on Windows XP.

UDF On Windows
Does anyone have a windows version of MyXML? Or hints to compile it? Quote: About MyXML is an UDF extension to the MySQL database. It provides a set of utilities to make generating XML from the database a simple task. It provides routines to encode XML, create tags and return entire queries in XML.

Windows GUI
Does anyone know how to read SLAVE STATUS and other mysql monitor results within a Windows Program?  Is there a way to execute MySql commands within Visual Basic?

Windows Box
I am trying to connect from a windows box to a mysql database that is on
a unix box and it's coming back with an error. this is via a migration
wizard. I decided to install mysql client on the windows box and start
mysql and see if I will be able to connect to the database. I have
downloaded the code but I don't know how to go from there

Windows UDF
Just a warning - there is currently a worm doing the rounds attacking MySQL servers running on Windows. Linux / *BSD / OSX are not affected.
It doesn't exploit any MySQL security holes, but attempts to brute force the password. Once in it installs a bot (W00t bot), and connects to a number of IRC channels, advertises it's presence and recieves IP subnets to attack.
Solution:
1) Use a STRONG root password. 'root', 'mysql' or 'secret' doesn't cut it.
2) Limit root connects to certain IP addresses (ONLY 'localhost' is the best). Don't let root connect from '%'.
3) MySQL should RARELY be exposed to the network. Use a firewall and MySQL's skip-networking command.

Mysqlclient On Windows
I'm using the command line client for mysql quite a lot on windows, and it really annoys me that I can't use tabstop to complete table/column names, like I can on our *nix machines. Is there something obvious I'm missing (like a config setting somewhere) or is this just the curse of using Windows, which I must learn to live with?

My.cnf Is Not Available Under Windows 2000
according to the manual,

There are two option files with the same function:
`C:my.cnf', and the `my.ini' file in the Windows directory.

Is it sufficient with only one of the files ?

I have only my.ini

For which purpose is my.cnf , please?

Windows Vs Linux
We currently run our MySQL on linux. Could someone advise me on the watch outs on moving MySQL to windows and also if there is any performance loss as a result?

Install On Windows XP
I cant get mysql to run on my winXP computer. I have downloaded it and
installed , unzipped and run setup.exe and placed it in c:mysql.

c:mysqli mysqld --console

It opens the console and then the console shows some inoDB commands and the
console hangs.

I followed the mysql manual and i cant find the answer
there is no command prompt and nothing...how do I run mysql?
