Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
GroupManager cannot connect to MySQL 8.4.x LTS, throwing "Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)".
However, AuthMe 6.0 (which uses the same MySQL 8.4 server) connects without any issues.
This means the problem is not server configuration — it is GroupManager's outdated database driver that does not support MySQL 8.4+.
Describe the solution you'd like
Please update the MySQL driver / HikariCP / database connector in GroupManager to support MySQL 8.4 LTS, just like AuthMe 6.0 does.
The current driver is too old and incompatible with MySQL 8.4's default authentication mechanism.
Additional context
- MySQL version: 8.4.8 LTS
- AuthMe 6.0 works fine on the same MySQL server
- GroupManager error: Access denied (using password: YES)
- This is a universal compatibility issue with old database drivers + MySQL 8.4+
