Diego Dupin added a comment - 2017-12-08 14:42 That's probably just due to missing FLUSH PRIVILEGES : I've added commit https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-connector-j/commit/be7de9aa924d17547efe18023fc9e765b0cb6da3 to develop branch. Could you give a try?

Jakub Janco added a comment - 2017-12-11 09:42 Didnt help: Failed tests: testPwdCharset(org.mariadb.jdbc.PasswordEncodingTest): must have not have failed for charsetName=UTF-8 which is java default

Diego Dupin added a comment - 2017-12-11 09:46 I'll continue investigate this so. Can you indicate which java implementation you use, Oracle / openJDK / IBM ... ?

Jakub Janco added a comment - 2017-12-11 09:57 - edited $ java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_151" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-b12) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)

Diego Dupin added a comment - 2017-12-11 16:17 Tried using Fedora 27 and openjdk version "1.8.0_151" without issue. (using another existing MariaDB 10.3 server) Can you describe server version and global configuration (the only reason i would imagine this error is using init commands like @@init_connect forcing connection to use some specific charset) ?

Diego Dupin added a comment - 2017-12-12 16:45 - edited issue reproduced, default configuration on fedora has anonymous user ( ''@'localhost' ) the test doesn't work when an anonymous user is present, because it will be preferred to '%' users. Test is canceled when anonymous user is present, (running mysql_secure_installation ask to delete this user / or it can be deleted using DROP USER ''@'localhost'

Diego Dupin added a comment - 2017-12-12 16:45 closing now since reproduced and correction solves the issue.

Jakub Janco added a comment - 2017-12-12 17:03 Thanks, this solves the issue. Maybe some note or another fail message would be useful for others. Results :   Tests run: 983, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 83
