The default database was not exposed in the warning that was logged when
authentication failed. The authentication uses the username, host and the
default database to find the user entry and the lack of the default
database made it hard to know for sure which user entry a client should've
matched against.
The SQL for the second recursive CTE table can be optimized by adding a
where condition on the recursive part that rules out users that are not
roles. The functionality remains the same as only roles can be granted to
users.
MySQLAuth now logs the server where the users were loaded from. As only
the initial loading of users causes a log message, it is still possible
for the source server to change without any indication of it.
Older clients assume the plugin used for authentication is
mysql_native_password. If the client doesn't request plugin
authentication, don't treat it as an error.
Some SQL clients may default to a different authentication plugin than
"mysql_native_password". Since this is the only one supported by MySQL-
authenticator, the client is instructed to swap its plugin.
Due to MDEV-15556 and MDEV-15840 recursive CTEs can't be reliably used
with older 10.2 versions. To prevent problems, only use the query that
extracts composite roles with newer versions.
The authentication code did not initialize one of the buffers used to
calculate the password hashes. This resulted in the use of uninitialized
memory when the user provided no password.
If a 10.2.11 or older server without a grant on all mysql tables is found,
the authenticator now falls back to the 10.1 behavior that uses subqueries
instead of CTEs. This is a more user friendly way of working around
MDEV-13453 that causes the problem as all functionality except the support
for composite roles is retained.
If the password field in mysql.user is empty, it is possible that the
actual password is stored in the authentication_string field. Most of the
time this happens due to MDEV-16774 which causes the password to be stored
in the authentication_string field.
Also added a test case that verifies the problem and that it is fixed by
this commit.
Instead of looking at the server version, the actual error message should
be inspected. This guarantees that the correct error message is logged
even with custom builds.
When the 10.2 users query is executed with a MariaDB server older than
10.2.11, the query will fail due to inadequate grants on the 'users' table
generated as a part of the CTE. To work around the issue, a SELECT grant
on the whole mysql database is required. Logging the server where the
query fails also helps resolve the problem by pointing out where the grant
needs to be added.
Added support for composite roles for 10.2 and newer versions. As
recursive CTEs are required to extract the role mappings, composite roles
aren't supported on 10.1.
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.
The maxscale_is_shutting_down function is used to detect when MaxScale
should stop. This fixes a race condition in the code where the workers has
not yet been initialized but a termination signal has been received. It
also replaces the misuse of the service_should_stop variable with a proper
function.
The service configuration serialization now uses the helper functions from
config.hh. This fixes the failing test mxs1731_old_persisted_config and
improves the readability of persisted configuration files.
Converted parameters into booleans that were used like booleans. This
forced the removal of the automatic enabling of
localhost_match_wildcard_host but since it has been enable by default,
this change should have no practical effects.
In addition to the clarification of the persisted configurations, this
change will limit the negative side-effects of changing a configuration
value in the main configuration file after a runtime modification has been
made. If a value has not been modified at runtime, changes to it in the
main configuration will take effect.
Previously, a runtime modification prevented all further manual changes to
the configuration file. Although in theory this sounds good, in practice
this does very little to improve the situation: The only reliable way to
change a parameter after a runtime modification is to do it via the REST
API (or MaxAdmin).
