Just checked in with mysql error logs trying to debug another problem and noticed a lot of these lines – about one a second – in the mysql error.log.
[Warning] [MY-013360] [Server] Plugin mysql_native_password reported: ''mysql_native_password' is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please use caching_sha2_password instead'
I’ve checked the user table and see that indeed the matomo user is using the wrong plugin, and that the default is set to caching_sha2.
mysql -e "select Host,User,plugin FROM mysql.user;"
+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+
| Host | User | plugin |
+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+
| localhost | debian-sys-maint | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost | matomo | mysql_native_password |
| localhost | mysql.infoschema | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost | mysql.session | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost | mysql.sys | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost | root | auth_socket |
mysql -e " show variables like 'default_authentication_plugin';"
| default_authentication_plugin | caching_sha2_password |
Can I update matomo user to use the suggested plugin, without destroying everything? (and if I do, will that get rid of the mysql errors?)
