Hi,
I’ve created a managed mysql in the same region as my droplet. I’ve added my droplet (ubuntu 18) and my PC IP as trusted sources.
- When attempting to connect from the droplet to the managed mysql using the public ‘flag’ i get this error:
ERROR 2059 (HY000): Authentication plugin ‘caching_sha2_password’ cannot be loaded: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mariadb18/plugin/caching_sha2_password.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
- When attempting to connect from the droplet to the managed mysql using the private ‘flag’ i get this error:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘private-db-mysql-fra1-82591-do-user-7505491-0.a.db.ondigitalocean.com’ (110 “Connection timed out”)
Can anyone point out what i might be doing wrong?
Best regards Mohammed

Hi there @fiduliin,
I think that what you need to do is to change the caching_sha2_password to mysql_native_password. You can do that by following the steps here:
Regarding your Droplet, you would also need to open the Managed MySQL port for outgoing TCP connections and add your Droplet’s IP address to your Managed Database allow list.
Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
