Authentication method 'mysql_old_password' not supported

Question

Updated the mysql connector. Net to version 6.6.4 provider to integrate with visual studio 2012, but now when I try to configure the connection to the edmx occurs the error

Answer 1

Mysql_old_password was temporary and was ment to be used for older mysql clients right after 4.1.1 to authenticate to a pre-4.1.1 mysql server.

Setting the var old_passwords=1 in your mysql servers my.ini should enable this functionality.
