连接 mysql 报错 ERROR 2059 (HY000): Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password'

今天在测试mysql 8.0 的时候，从远端连接到mysql发现了这样的一个问题

# mysql -h10.254.73.103
ERROR 2059 (HY000): Authentication plugin "caching_sha2_password" cannot be loaded: /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/caching_sha2_password.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
#

于是乎，去搜索了一下，发现绝大多数都是从服务器修改，例如:

what???到底是怎么肥事呢，我们接着来看看。

来，我们看看官网是怎么讲的？

The caching_sha2_password and sha256_password authentication plugins provide more secure password encryption than the mysql_native_password plugin, and caching_sha2_password provides better performance than sha256_password. Due to these superior security and performance characteristics of caching_sha2_password, it is as of MySQL 8.0 the preferred authentication plugin, and is also the default authentication plugin rather than mysql_native_password.

翻译过来就是

该caching_sha2_password和 sha256_password认证插件提供比更安全的密码加密 mysql_native_password插件，并 caching_sha2_password提供了比更好的性能sha256_password。由于的这些优越的安全性和性能 caching_sha2_password，它是MySQL 8.0的首选身份验证插件，也是默认的身份验证插件，而不是 mysql_native_password。

也就是mysql更新了这个特性，让密码更加安全，但是呢，这样调整，会引起客户端的连接问题，为了能够让客户端(库)连接上去，mysql 8.0 允许修改密码验证规则，让其从 caching_sha2_password 变更为 mysql_native_password ，不能说好，也不能说不好，看个人所需吧。

好了，了解了问题的始末，我们就可以解决问题了 上述是从服务器解决该问题，那么我们从客户端解决
