ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_MODE - MySQL server

Question

I have setup a MySQL database. When I try to access it through my Node JS server, I am getting the error

\"ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_MODE: Client does no

Answer 1

in order to overcome this error use the following code:

var connectionString = 'mysql://*root:*password@*localhost/*database?charset=utf8_general_ci&timezone=-0700'; 
var connection= mysql.createConnection(connectionString); 

but make sure that you changed the * marks in the connectionString based on your setup.
