无法通过数字海洋上的 Sequel Pro 连接到 sql server

Question

I want to connect to my database server, hosted on digital ocean. Therefore I configured my Sequel Pro setup like this:

The error I get is:

on my server the port 3306 is allowed via `ufw allow 3306/tcp' and the ufw service has been restarted. Still I cannot connect. I am asked for my password for the SSH service, which works, but then the error arises. Where do I need to reconfigure my settings?

If you know the current MySQL password then connect with it by the terminal . After that run this command

SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user;

you maybe get something similar

mysql> SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user;
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
| user             | authentication_string                     | plugin                | host      |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
| root             |                                           | auth_socket           | localhost |
| mysql.session    | *THISISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDHERE | mysql_native_password | localhost |
| mysql.sys        | *THISISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDHERE | mysql_native_password | localhost |
| debian-sys-maint | *EFBDB02467A8AB572944B873296089BB6607492C | mysql_native_password | localhost |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

s you can see, the plugin is auth_socket, which is causing the issue. Let's update it to use the root password

'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'DO_PASSWORD_HERE';

Then flush the privileges to have the updates take effect.

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Then exit; and restart the MySQL service mysql restart

Everything should work now :)
