If a user has an empty service name, use "mysql" as default.
Authentication data was only updated inside get_pam_user_services() if no service
was found. It was possible that the PAM service changed but the old service
would be used for authenticating, causing a false negative.
Now, the auth data is updated outside the function if authentication fails for
any reason. The new service data is compared to the old and if equal, password
check is not attempted again. This gives a false negative only if user password
has changed after the previous attempt.
Also, fixed some comments.
Length-encoded strings should be consumed with the correct
functions. Doing pointer arithmetic with the same pointer as a parameter
appears to fail only on CentOS 6 whereas on newer systems it performs as
expected.
Now that the connector resides in the same repository, it can be built as
a library for the tests. Installing the development package is one option
but it would unnecessarily complicate the build process.
As the function documentation states, the expected value must be read
again after a call to atomic_cas_ptr. This is due to the fact that if the
values are not the same, the __atomic builtin version will store the
current value into the expected value.
The new value given to the atomic_cas_ptr function was the address of the
new value, not the new value itself. The behavior of the atomic_cas_ptr is
what caused the test to pass on systeems that implement the __atomic
builtins. On older systems that do not implement it, the expected value
was never modified which caused the test to hang.
The monitor will now also create the database if it is missing. Since it
already creates the table, also creating the database is not a large
addition.
Cleaned up some of the related checking code and combined them into a
simple utility function.
