ERROR 2049 (HY000): Connection using old (pre-4.1.1)

    测试环境新装了MySQL服务器，在登陆时无法成功登陆。其提示为使用的旧的认证协议而被拒绝。其具体的错误提示为ERROR 2049 (HY000): Connection using old (pre-4.1.1) authentication protocol refused (client option 'secure_auth' enabled)以下是关于这个问题的描述及其解决方案，供大家参考。

 

1、故障现象
[root@HKBO ~]# mysqladmin -u root password 'Mysqlxxx'
[root@HKBO ~]# mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2049 (HY000): Connection using old (pre-4.1.1) authentication protocol refused (client option 'secure_auth' enabled)

[root@HKBO ~]# mysql -uroot -p --skip-secure-auth
Enter password:
ERROR 1275 (HY000): Server is running in --secure-auth mode, but 'root'@'localhost' has a password in the old format; please change the password to the new format

 

2、有关secure_auth参数

•  --secure-auth

  Command-Line Format--secure-authSystem VariableNamesecure_authVariable ScopeGlobalDynamic VariableYesPermitted Values (<= 5.6.4)TypebooleanDefaultOFFPermitted Values (>= 5.6.5)TypebooleanDefaultON

  This option causes the server to block connections by clients that attempt to use accounts that have passwords stored in the old (pre-4.1) format. Use it to prevent all use of passwords employing the old format (and hence insecure communication over the network). Before MySQL 5.6.5, this option is disabled by default. As of MySQL 5.6.5, it is enabled by default; to disable it, use --skip-secure-auth.

  Server startup fails with an error if this option is enabled and the privilege tables are in pre-4.1 format. SeeSection B.5.2.4, “Client does not support authentication protocol”.

  The mysql client also has a --secure-auth option, which prevents connections to a server if the server requires a password in old format for the client account.

  Note

  Passwords that use the pre-4.1 hashing method are less secure than passwords that use the native password hashing method and should be avoided. Pre-4.1 passwords are deprecated and support for them will be removed in a future MySQL release. Consequently, disabling secure authentication using --skip-secure-auth is also deprecated.

4、小结
a、绝大多数情况下，MySQL缺省的my.cnf不靠谱，根据情况都需要适度修改。
b、在安装MySQL之前应先检查当前主机是否存在旧版以及多实例(此次由于非生产环境，所以疏忽导致了这个问题)
c、根据错误提示来定位故障原因，如此次的关键字为secure_auth
d、理解有关secure_auth,old_passwords,skip-secure-auth参数的作用及其影响
