Installing into MySQL 8
Defect Fixed
I'm unable to install Yellowfin into MySQL 8.
The same problem 
This is a currently logged Defect with current version of Yellowfin. Luckily it's possible to work around this in the meantime.
Start by changing the Authentication Method of your MySQL service to Legacy Authentication. This can be done during install, or by re-running the installer to reconfigure the service:
Once this is done, you'll want to download a copy of the attached driver and place it in the same folder as your installer jar. This process will only work with the jar installer. The following command will run the installer with the driver you have downloaded:
Note that for Windows you will want to instead use: Move through your installation as normal. Once completed, attempt to start Yellowfin. Give it some time to unpack the webapps folder and then stop Yellowfin.Now we need to delete the mysql driver in the install folder, i.e. <YellowfinInstall>/appserver/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.25-bin.jar.
Paste in the attached driver as a replacement.
Go ahead and start Yellowfin and you should be up and running!
We'll keep this post updated with further information regarding a fix in the installer for this.
Thanks,
Ryan
