SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('foo') would fail for pam plugin with
ERROR HY000: SET PASSWORD is ignored for users authenticating via pam plugin
but SET PASSWORD = 'foo' would not.
Now it will.
Support SET PASSWORD for authentication plugins.
Authentication plugin API is extended with two optional methods:
* hash_password() is used to compute a password hash (or digest)
from the plain-text password. This digest will be stored in mysql.user
table
* preprocess_hash() is used to convert this digest into some memory
representation that can be later used to authenticate a user.
Build-in plugins convert the hash from hexadecimal or base64 to binary,
to avoid doing it on every authentication attempt.
Note a change in behavior: when loading privileges (on startup or on
FLUSH PRIVILEGES) an account with an unknown plugin was loaded with a
warning (e.g. "Plugin 'foo' is not loaded"). But such an account could
not be used for authentication until the plugin is installed. Now an
account like that will not be loaded at all (with a warning, still).
Indeed, without plugin's preprocess_hash() method the server cannot know
how to load an account. Thus, if a new authentication plugin is
installed run-time, one might need FLUSH PRIVILEGES to activate all
existing accounts that were using this new plugin.
Benefits of this patch:
- Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string
- Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of
accidently changing a string
- Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer)
- More uniform code
- Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed
- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)
Changes:
- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING
- Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char*
- Create_field::change and after changed to LEX_CSTRING
- handler::connect_string, comment and engine_name() changed to LEX_CSTRING
- Checked printf() related calls to find bugs. Found and fixed several
errors in old code.
- A lot of changes from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING, especially related to
parsing and events.
- Some changes from LEX_STRING and LEX_STRING & to LEX_CSTRING*
- Some changes for char* to const char*
- Added printf argument checking for my_snprintf()
- Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify
code
- Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between
items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name
This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name.
- select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.*
- removed not used function Item::rename()
- Added comparision of item->name_length before some calls to
my_strcasecmp() to speed up comparison
- Moved Item_sp_variable::make_field() from item.h to item.cc
- Some minimal code changes to avoid copying to const char *
- Fixed wrong error message in wsrep_mysql_parse()
- Fixed wrong code in find_field_in_natural_join() where real_item() was
set when it shouldn't
- ER_ERROR_ON_RENAME was used with extra arguments.
- Removed some (wrong) ER_OUTOFMEMORY, as alloc_root will already
give the error.
TODO:
- Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c
- Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name
(as part of lower_case_table_names)
Compiler there is strict about the C/C++ call model
mixing in function variable assumptions.
Fixed by adding some 'extern "C"' and changing
'?' operator with 'if'.
Makefile.am:
add new API files to the check_abi rule,
remove duplicates
client/CMakeLists.txt:
now a client can use dlopen too
client/Makefile.am:
be csh-friendly
include/my_global.h:
add dummy plugs for dlopen and co.
for the code that needs them to work in static builds
mysys/Makefile.am:
be csh-friendly
plugin/auth/dialog.c:
typo fixed
