I have an odd request from a customer and I am quite sure the answer is no, but wondering if someone has a different answer.



Background



As you know MySQL installation create a database called "mysql" where it stores the databases we create and also the users.



In the user table, there is a field called "authentication_string" where the user password is saved.



Project



On this project each time a customer creates an account a new database user and database is created.



When a customer logs in through a web interface, the system calls an API to authenticate him/her. After that the root db user is used to connect to customer database, not their own database credentials, why? because they do not want to save user and password on database (This is a temporal solution).



They want to change the application so after authentication/authorization process and they would somehow only needed root credentials to somehow get user and password from "mysql db" and then use them to create the connection using customer db credentials.



Is this possible? Or is there some mysql parent - children configuration where this scenario is possible?

  • What MYSQL version? Different versions support multiple plugins, sometimes including some. It looks odd why are new database user is being created and for what benefit.
