Authenticate MySQL/MariaDB users with bcrypt hashed passwords

Build with make and install with make install (as root).

To load the plugin in MySQL or MariaDB, run the following command.

INSTALL SONAME 'auth_bcrypt.h';

The following command adds an user that authenticates with the plugin.

CREATE USER <name>@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH bcrypt USING '<hash>';

Secure connections

Make sure to secure database connections with TLS since passwords are sent in clear text!
