    #
# MySQL 8.0.4 introduced 'caching_sha2_password' as its default authentication plugin.
# It is faster and provides better security then the previous default authentication plugin.
#
# Until now (09/2018), it does not work with some other software (eg. MariaDB client, MariaDB connectors,  ...)
#
# This configuration file changes MySQL default server configuration, so it behaves the same way as in MySQL 5.7.
#
# To change the behaviour back to the upstream default, comment out the following lines:

[mysqld]
default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password
