The result of the authentication should be ignored but the scramble that
is calculated as a side-effect still needs to be stored. This can be done
by altering the SQL used to get the matching row to only match on the
username, not the network address.
Also expanded the test case to cover the use of bad credentials.
When MaxScale is being started and the users are loaded, the MySQL
authenticator should not load the database users for internal services
abstracted as servers.
The loading of users at startup for internal services is avoided because
the startup is done in a single thread context and the internal services
have not yet been started.
The delayed loading of users will cause the authentication to fail when
the first client connect. This triggers the reloading of the users and the
second attempt at authentication will succeed. All of this is hidden from
the end user.
The SQLite database is now always created on disk. This will remove the
need to dump the database users from the in-memory database to the
persisted on-disk database.
This change will also make the authentication compatible with older SQLite
implementations which lack the URI-based database strings found in newer
versions.
MariaDB and others match grants first by exact hostname/IP and then by
wildcard. If there are no exact matches, the wildcard grant should be
picked. This can be tested by having different passwords for localhost and
remote address.
The SQLite based authentication should first check for an exact match and
then only after that should it try to match the hostname to a wildcard
grant.
The user data is now stored inside a SQLite3 database. By storing the data
inside a database, we remove the restriction that the previous hashtable
based implementation had.
Currently the only situation where a user needs to be authenticated after
the initial authentication is when a COM_CHANGE_USER is being
executed. This was previously handled by directly calling a function in
the MySQLAuth authenticator.
The new entry in the API of the authenticators is very specific to MySQL
and should be reviewed once other protocols are added.
