Hello,

Is mysql_upgrade meant to facilitate a migration from auth_socket.so to MariaDB’s unix_socket.so?

I just tried to upgrade 5.7 to 10.2 and found root@localhost (which was set up to use MySQL auth_socket.so) was no longer able to connect because “ERROR 1524 (HY000): Plugin 'auth_socket' is not loaded”.

Good point, it curently doesn't do that, but I agree that it might. Could you please create a bug report about it? jira.mariadb.org Regards, Sergei Chief Architect MariaDB and security@mariadb.org
