Re: How to enable -cleartext-plugin

[Udara Arachhi]

Hi Peter

In mysql documentation it mention.
"As of MySQL 5.5.10, a client-side authentication plugin is available that sends the password to the server without hashing or encryption"



mysql --user=antonio --password=verysecret --enable-cleartext-plugin mydb

so once I enter loging details as above,after creating user in server as well as mysql database.Error message generate as below

mysql: unknown option '--enable-cleartext-plugin'

Pls advise to sort this.

Thanks
