If client uses mysql_clear_password but ProxySQL (default) expects caching_sha2_password or mysql_native_pasword (and no SSL), initiate auth switch to default configured auth plugin For security reasons, we should not allow mysql_clear_password over non-SSL connections if server is configured to use better.

Initial requirement: Identify why ProxySQL doesn’t switch authentication method when client tries to connect using clear text password , if this is a generic issue or some specific conditions trigger it. Based on the finding, authentication switch may (or may not) be implemented. TAP test for this can be temporarily skipped. |
