Hi,
I noticed MySQL 5.6 has a validate_password plugin. Since it's open-source, can we add it to MariaDB 5.5. Or is that bad form, a hot potato, etc.?
We need the features of this plugin in our environment, and the PAM integration is looking not a good "fit" (though it's working great).
(I'm trying to get it to compile in right now, but it's having issues with the includes so far...working on it).
So Serg has been working on a validate_password plugin that isn't based on 5.5/5.6 - he's doing it a different way from what I gather See: https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-5442 The bonus of how its done now, is that it's here: https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-6431 It is shipping in 10.1.2 (don't use this in production please) -- see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/documentation/plugins/simple_password_chec... Do you think that will do for you? An extension to this is tentatively scheduled for 10.2, but this may change if there are enough requests/time to do it -- https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-6554 -- Colin Charles, Chief Evangelist, MariaDB Corporation blog: http://bytebot.net/blog/| t: +6-012-204-3201 | Skype: colincharles
