Since MySQL V 5.6.10 the old-password option is disabled by default.
What have i got to do to use UniDAC MySQL with the new Password Format.
I tried it with the Demo App to connect to the Server but failed.
Is there a special Option to set ?
I forgot i use the latest unidac Version
best regards
Stefan

Hello.
The old password format is used only in MySQL servers till version 4.1. The detailed information on the password format in MySQL servers can be found at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/ ... shing.html . Since version 4.1 and higher, UniDAC works with MySQL servers via the new password format. If the password is stored in the database in the new format, you mustn't have problems with connection.
Please describe the problem in more details.

Old style password is used when mysql5 is installed and you have old passwords from mysql4.
Using old style passwords under mysql4 is pointless.If you upgraded from mysql4 to mysql5 then you should enable that option.Cpanel will not enable it or disable it on it's own based on upgrades or downgrades.
