I have. Not much time to reply, but one major thing I had to do form my notes:

4. modify my.cnf and add line with: pam_use_cleartext_plugun
   requires restart!!!!
   For Old Workbench to work with this, set the environment variable
   LIB_MYSQL_CLEARTEXT_PLUGIN=1
   For recet Workbench, in the connections dialog, on the Advanced tab, check
   Enable Cleartext Authentication Plugin

   Problem: Password is sent uncrypted!!!!

If i remember correclty, nothing needs to happen on JDBC-side to get this to work. But, I had the LIB_MYSQL_CLEARTEXT_PLUGIN=1 in the environment. YMMV.

HTH,

Adam

I've got the PAM authentication to work, as long as I use a plain command

well.

I've found some instructions what seem to indicate that I need to somehow
make the JDBC connection use SQL and plain-text authentication. But I have
not been able to find specific instructions on doing that. (The
instructions, I've seen seem to mainly point to other documents in a
circular/byzantine way.)

Has someone got the combination of a JDBC client and an PAM-enabled
MariaDB server to work? If so: Can you shed some light on the steps you
went through?

Thanks in advance.
