Re: Connector-C error [Answer]

The fix to this problem is to create users with the syntax: 

CREATE USER 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'

Or for windows authentication accounts:

CREATE USER 'user'@'%' IDENTIFIED VIA gssapi AS 'MACHINE_NAME\\user';

----------------------- Being totally inexperienced with MySQL, I don't understand why it is necessary to create several user records for the same user. For example:

CREATE USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
CREATE USER 'root'@'127.0.0.1' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
CREATE USER 'root'@'HostName' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
CREATE USER 'root'@'::1 IDENTIFIED BY 'password'

Why would anyone want this when one record with the '%' host does the same think?

Anyway .....
