JDBC Authentication Plugin¶
On this page
New in version 2.2.
The MongoDB Connector for BI provides a client-side MySQL authentication plugin for Java that
integrates with MySQL’s Connector/J JDBC driver.
The mongosql_auth
plugin allows a client to authenticate with a
BI Connector and MongoDB deployment running with authentication enabled
using one of the following authentication mechanisms:
SCRAM-SHA-1
PLAIN
Note
- The
SCRAM-SHA-1
mechanism hashes the passwords in the client plugin; however, all other data is in cleartext. If possible, use with encrypted connections. - The
PLAIN
mechanism sends the password in cleartext. Use encrypted connections with thePLAIN
mechanism .
Installing the Plugin¶
To install the plugin, see Install the JDBC Authentication Plugin.
