"Error 1698: Access denied for user" while using unix socket plugin

[ghost]

Hi,

I'm using this plugin: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/authentication-plugin-unix-socket/

And I can access MySQL from command line. However using this code:

mysql::Pool::new("mysql://user@localhost/db").unwrap();

will raise this error:

MySqlError { ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' }

Edited

It seems the library doesn't support this use case yet. So I applied another plugin mysql_native_password for that user, and it worked.

It would be great if you consider adding support for unix_socket plugin.

Thank you,
