How do I pass special options through

I am not the server admin so I cannot upgrade the server, How would I go about implementing InsecureAuth:true like the error says
`Error opening connection MySQL server is requesting the old and insecure pre-4.1 auth mechanism. Upgrade the user password or use the {insecureAuth: true} option.`

I presume it is though the workspace settings
` {
"mysqlOptions": {
"authProtocol": "default"
},
"previewLimit": 50,
"server": "x.x.x.x",
"port": 3306,
"driver": "MySQL",
"name": "OLD",
"group": "severs",
"database": "old",
"username": "myself"
}
`
