Hello, Me and a few others are developing om linux boxes running MySQL 5.0.0. We often create users with different access rights on our development boxes and then it often occours problems with users when our programs goes into "production". I would like to find a common user enviroment for our database users. I was thinking that we could perhaps use our Active Directory service which is running on a windows server in our network.
Would it be possible to avoid using MySQLs own mysql (mysql.user, mysql.db and so on) database and instead directly authenticate against our active directory? Or is that not a smart way to go? Any suggestions are welcome /Jonas
