Problem in the workbench with new user

Posted on October 17, 2015

Hello people

I’m facing a very annoying problem.

Since I created a User to my droplet, I can no longer connect the workbench because before I wore the same User root.

I do not know what’s wrong. With this new User I can connect to other databases, such as mongodb, mysql but I can not, via workbench.

I would appreciate a light, because I need to review some information that are there.

By default MySQL does not allow remote connections. Have you enabled remote connections and set up a user with your workstation’s IP or a wildcard?
