Hi,

I did a fresh install (removed old installation of Percona mysql) of Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.16-7-1 on Ubuntu 18.04.3. However, it couldn’t find the validate\_password component when I tried using mysql\_secure\_installation. It also didn’t find the file when I used “INSTALL COMPONENT”.

I had to copy the component\_\*.so files from a CentOS 7 install of Percona MySQL 8 and place them on my Ubuntu 18.04 Server in the directory /usr/lib/mysql/plugin. After copying those files over, I was able to enable the validate\_password component.

My question is: is there something wrong with the installation package for Ubuntu 18.04? Or did I miss something?

I installed it via apt using the Percona repository (percona-release 1.0-13.generic).

Regards,

Albert
