Question about logging in to mysql via PAM or using existing login credentials

2003-09-17 Thread Mike Klein
Question: how is this done?

I am getting tired of entering my existing unix login information (same
login/pwd) every time I want to login to mysql.

I would like to propagate my existing unix credentials (/etc/pwd) or
possibly use pam/sasl/etc.

Note...of course this isn't the same as mysql/pam interface. I don't want
to authenticate THRU mysql, rather I want to authenticate TO mysql...

I've checked mysql parms, google'd, etc. and can't find any pointers on
this.

thanks in advance...

yes

Kerberos is the ticket
use stashticket to cache your unix credentials
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/csl/doc/info/kerberos/
then put the runauth script in ~/public/.forward check the link for details

Don't applications have to be kerberized first?

I don't believe mysql is...kerberos libs don't show up when using ldd.

Correct.  MySQL is not kerberized(sp?).
