    Bug #12998841: libmysql divulges plaintext password upon request in 5.5 · 06f6e4fe
    Georgi Kodinov authored
    1. Clear text password client plugin disabled by default.
    2. Added an environment variable LIBMYSQL_ENABLE_CLEARTEXT_PLUGIN, that
    when set to something starting with '1', 'Y' or 'y' will enable the clear
    text
    plugin for all connections.
    3. Added a new mysql_options() option : MYSQL_ENABLE_CLEARTEXT_PLUGIN
    that takes an my_bool argument. When the value of the argument is non-zero
    the clear text plugin is enabled for this connection only.
    4. Added an enable-cleartext-plugin config file option that takes a numeric
    
    argument. If the numeric value of the numeric argument is non-zero the
    clear
    text plugin is enabled for the connection
    5. Added a boolean command line option "--enable_cleartext_plugin" to
    mysql, mysqlslap and mysqladmin. When specified it will call mysql_options
    with the effect of #3
    6. Added a new CLEARTEXT option to the connect command in mysqltest.
    When specified it will enable the cleartext plugin for usage.
    7. Added test cases and updated existing ones that need the clear text
    plugin.
