@Sergei,

is that MariaDB PAM plugin portable to MySQL?

Regards.

BTW, thanks for clarifications about PAM plugin usage for MySQL.

I'm taking this out of percona-pam-plugin bug report, hope it's ok.

Personally, I didn't try it with MySQL. But because pluggable authentication in MySQL is pretty much the same as in MariaDB (in fact, we've implemented it, and contributed to Oracle), our pam plugin should work. It might need minor cosmetic changes to compile though.

Alternatively, you can simply use MariaDB :) it has everything that MySQL does, plus much faster subqueries, much faster replication, and tons of other goodies.
