MySQL Migration Toolkit JDBC Driver Corrupts Password When Connecting
Posted by: Dave Kelly

I found that the MySQL Migration Toolkit JDBC Driver is percent-encoding non-alphanumeric symbols in the connection string. As my MySQL password had non-alphanumeric symbols in it, the percent-encoding corrupted my password and caused Target (MySQL) server connection failure due to "access denied".

Removing all non-alphanumeric symbols from my password solved the problem and connection to the Target (MySQL) server succeeded.

Just passing this info along for anyone else who might need it. No sense reporting it as a bug since MySQL Migration Toolkit is past EOL and won't be updated.
