--pam-use-cleartext-plugin

This is a command-line option for the mariadbd & mysqld commands.

Use mysql_cleartext_plugin on the client side instead of the dialog plugin. This may be needed for compatibility reasons, but it only supports simple PAM policies that don't require anything besides a password
