Error

When using Mysql 4.1 with either the LFC or the DPM, you get the following error (here in /var/log/dpns/log) :

09/23 12:19:41 26938 Cns_opendb: CONNECT error: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading Mysql client.

Solution

According to the Mysql documentation, paragraph A.2.3, there is a very simple solution to this problem: use the OLD_PASSWORD() function instead of the PASSWORD() function when creating the DB account.
