After verifying my credentials to access the server by connecting using the same credentials with Navicat and verifying that those credentials had ALL privileges, I found that the Authentication Type that was the default when I installed MySql on my laptop was different than the Authentication Type used on our production server. I was unable to change the Authentication Type (it was greyed out), so I simply created a new user and set the Authentication Type to Standard. Success when I connected the Aware IM Control Panel using the new credentials.Server startup error. Access to database is denied.
