You are viewing an old version of this article. View the current version here.

MySQL 5.6 added support for the sha256_password authentication plugin, and MySQL 5.7 also added support for the caching_sha2_password authentication plugin. MariaDB Server does not currently support either of these authentication plugins. See MDEV-9804 about that.

Client-Side Support

On the client side, MariaDB Connector/C added support for both the sha256_password and caching_sha2_password authentication plugins. Therefore, clients that use MariaDB Connector/C can authenticate with MySQL Server installations that use these authentication plugins.

See CONC-229 and CONC-312 for more information.
