Database Security

Which two authentication plugins require the plaintext client plugin for authentication to work?

Choose two
  • A PAM authentication
  • B SHA256 authentication
  • C Windows Native authentication
  • D LDAP authentication
  • E LDAP SASL authentication
  • F MySQL Native Password
Explanation

MySQL uses the mysql_clear_password client plugin with the PAM authentication plugin and with simple LDAP authentication because these methods require the server to receive the password as entered, without client-side hashing. LDAP SASL instead uses its dedicated SASL client plugin.
