CentOS release 6.5 (Final)
Linux version 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild@c6b10.bsys.dev.centos.org) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed Feb 12 00:41:43 UTC 2014
Description
I had MySQL installed and running. I created some users using HeidiSQL, a Windows MySQL GUI and verified that they worked. I then upgraded to MariaDB.
Only my root accounts worked on MariaDB. When I checked the mysql.user table, the root accounts had empty `plugin` fields, but the non-root accounts had mysql_native_password in the field. Emptying the field and restarting the server (probably flushing privileges would have worked) resolved the issue.
I am not sure what was in the field prior to the MariaDB migration, but after checking all the other servers I have that are running vanilla MySQL, it was probably blank. I use HeidiSQL to create all of those users and none of them have a populated plugin field .
