For now following tasks have been done:
- PASSWORD() function was rewritten. PASSWORD() now returns SHA1
hash_stage2; for new passwords user.password contains '*'hash_stage2; sql_yacc.yy also fixed;
- password.c: new functions were implemented, old rolled back to 4.0 state
- server code was rewritten to use new authorization algorithm (check_user(), change
user, and other stuff in sql/sql_parse.cc)
- client code was rewritten to use new authorization algorithm
(mysql_real_connect, myslq_authenticate in sql-common/client.c)
- now server barks on 45-byte-length 4.1.0 passwords and refuses 4.1.0-style
authentification. Users with 4.1.0 passwords are blocked (sql/sql_acl.cc)
- mysqladmin.c was fixed to work correctly with new passwords
Tests for 4.0-4.1.1, 4.1.1-4.1.1 (with or without db/password) logons was performed;
mysqladmin also was tested. Additional check are nevertheless necessary.
