myself, about two months ago.
I've tried setting MYSQL_SECURE_AUTH to both true and false, to see if it solves the problem, but it doesn't.
Not sure what else I can try. Any other ideas?

Hello.
Are you sure that mysql.exe is the same version as the server?
Check if you're able to connect to 3.23.xx server using API. What value
does your MYSQL_SECURE_AUTH option have? See:

I'm using server version 4.1.10 on Windows Server 2003, which was
started with --old-password (to ensure back compatibility with legacy
PHP 4 applications). As a result my mysql server uses the older style,
16-bit password hashing.
I'm using mysql_real_connect, and linking with the libmysql.lib that
ships with ver 4.1.10.
When I connect using mysql_real_connect() to a database with a password,
it fails, and returns a "bad handshake" error.
However, when I connect using mysql_real_connect() to a database with no
password, it connects without a problem.
This makes me suspect that the client is incorrectly trying to hash with
the newer style 41-bit hashing, against a server using the 16-bit
hashing. Is there any way to tell the client to use older-style hashing?
One of the client flags seems to relate to this,
ie:
#define CLIENT_LONG_PASSWORD 1 /* New more secure passwords */
(mysql_com.h, line 107)
but this should mean that a value of 0 uses short passwords, and I'm
calling mysql_real_connect with a value of 0 for the client flag
argument (though I've also tried with 1 to see if that works).
I have no trouble connecting to the database using the same connection
parameters using the command line mysql.exe.
Do anyone have any idea what I should do?
*** code extract ***
MYSQL my;
mysql_init(&my);
if (!mysql_real_connect(&my, host, user, password, db, port, NULL, 0))
{
cerr << ...
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
else
{
cerr << ...
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
