[PHP-DB] Activating the mysql_clear_password plugin

2012-09-27 Thread Pierre-Gildas MILLON

Hi everyone,

I need to use the mysql_clear_password plugin.
I'm using the CentOS php 5.3.3 and manually recompiled the mysql  
mysqli extensions with the Oracle MySQL 5.5 libraries.


According to the MySQL documentation ( 
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/cleartext-authentication-plugin.html), 
I need to either set the LIBMYSQL_ENABLE_CLEARTEXT_PLUGIN or set the 
MYSQL_ENABLE_CLEARTEXT_PLUGIN option to the mysql client.


I tried to set the LIBMYSQL_ENABLE_CLEARTEXT_PLUGIN via a SetEnv in 
Apache with no results.


Could anyone help me setting the MYSQL_ENABLE_CLEARTEXT_PLUGIN option to 
the mysql client ?

Hi,

Many thanks for your quick answer.

I tried what you suggest by modifying the phpMyAdmin code and it works 
great !


Thank you very much !

Hi

You could try using mysqli_options(), but I do not know if that supports
this setting yet. The PHP documentation does not mention it, and I am
unable to test it myself at the moment.

Just occured to me, even if the setting is not directly supported yet, you
can create a separate configuration file for this setting the client to
use the plugin (enable-cleartext-plugin) then:

mysqli_options(MYSQLI_READ_DEFAULT_FILE,'myother.cnf');

to use those settings on the connection.
