dbconfig option for MySQL authentication plugin
[Justin B. Rye]
debian/dbconfig-common.templates
[Rafael D. Tinoco]
dpkg/common
dpk/config
internal/mysql
test/common
Allows MySQL authentication plugin to be configured through dbconfig.
The following debconf variable: "$dbc_package/mysql/authplugin" has been
created and defaults to "default", which will not specify any auth
plugin to MySQL during user creation.
Some packages might need to change default auth plugin for compatibility
reasons. They can define variable "dbc_authplugin", before calling
"dbc_go", in order to change default behaviour (or use interactive low
priority reconfiguration).

MySQL can't handle empty ports in config file
internal/mysql
MySQL now can't handle empty port config variables. This patch forces
port variable to be either dbc_port or the default port number value:
3306.

MySQL GRANT fix for NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER
internal/mysql
MySQL now defaults to NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER. This patch fixes issues
happening during user creation, when it is done through "ALTER USER ...
IDENTIFIED BY ..." SQL commands, by spliting the creation from the grant
commands.
- This patch takes care of mysql functions.

MySQL NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER fixes for autopkgtest
debian/tests/install-examples
test/data/dbc_mysql_createuser.nohost.sql.txt
test/data/dbc_mysql_createuser.remote.sql.txt
MySQL now defaults to NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER. This patch fixes issues
happening during user creation, when it is done through "ALTER USER ...
IDENTIFIED BY ..." SQL commands, by spliting the creation from the grant
commands.
- This patch takes care of autopkgtest regressions only.

dbc_authplugin option documentation
doc/dbconfig-common.sgml
Documentation about dbc_authplugin option being added to dbconfig:
dbc_authplugin (used in config)
- This option defines which MySQL authentication plugin
should be set to default whenever dbconfig-common creates a user
in the database on behalf of the package using it. Choices are:
- default: use the default auth plugin for installed MySQL server.
- mysql_native_password: no MySQL authentication plugin is used.
- sha256_password: more secure password encryption than native.
- caching_sha2_password: in-memory authentication cache.
dbc_authplugin should be set in .config file, right before calling
dbc_go function. It can also be configured by user during package
installation, or during dpkg-reconfigure, if debconf questions
priority is set to low.
-Be careful when changing this. There are some differences
in between MySQL and MariaDB and some options might not be
available on one or another. As up to MariaDB 10.4, its default
authentication plugin is "mysql_native_password" while, for
MySQL 8.0, the new default authentication plugin is the
"caching_sha2_password".
