Sample Authentication Plugin
Here is an example showing how to create the authentication plugin, then enable it by means of a
configuration file. Follow these steps:
1. Create a console app, adding a reference to MySql.Data.dll.
2. Design the main program as follows:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
namespace AuthPluginTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Customize the connection string as necessary.
MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection("server=localhost;
database=test; user id=myuser; password=mypass");
con.Open();
con.Close();
}
}
}
3. Create your plugin class. In this example, we add an "alternative" implementation of the Native
password plugin by just using the same code from the original plugin. We name our class
MySqlNativePasswordPlugin2:
using System.IO;
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient.Authentication;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace AuthPluginTest
{
public class MySqlNativePasswordPlugin2 : MySqlAuthenticationPlugin
{
public override string PluginName
{
get { return "mysql_native_password"; }
}
public override object GetPassword()
{
