Hello all, I have a weird request. Having lots of servers (with many MySQL ones), I try to centralize most of all authentication processes by using LDAP. This is possible with Apache, ProFTPd and such but I was wondering if we could do this with MySQL. I know this is special because this is generaly the contrary we want : being able to authenticate thru a MySQL server.
I dont really know how this could be done. I just want MySQL to send the login and password to an LDAP server, this one responding 'yes' or 'no'. Maybe it could be possible/better to "export" all the mysql database... I even thought of a MySQL pam module which could permit /etc/passwd to be the authentication source. I could reach my needs by next using nsswitch-ldap. All suggestions/ideas are welcomed even if you find this idea completely stupid (which is probably true). Thanx !
