The new server pam plugin does not always send the first password prompt with the
AuthSwitchRequest-packet. In this case the server expects the client (MaxScale) to
just send the password immediately. MaxScale now checks the length of the packet,
sending the password if the packet is short. This works with both old and new server
versions.
Plugins may send additional messages during authentication. These messages
often contain notifications such as password expiration dates. Both the client
and backend side authenticators now handle such messages. The messages are not
sent to the user, only the log. The requirement that only "Password: " is queried
still stands.
See script directory for method. The script to run in the top level
MaxScale directory is called maxscale-uncrustify.sh, which uses
another script, list-src, from the same directory (so you need to set
your PATH). The uncrustify version was 0.66.
Divided functionality into classes, fixed comments +
various other cleanup. BackenAuth no longer increments
sequence on sending password. SQLite busy timeout shortened
to 1 second.
