Support for PARSEC Authentication Plugin

The MariaDB Connector/Java 3.5.0, R2DBC 1.3.0, and Node.js 3.4.0 releases add support for the PARSEC (Password Authentication using Response Signed with Elliptic Curves) authentication plugin, introduced in MariaDB Server 11.6. See this blog post for more information about MariaDB Server 11.6.1 (RC).

PARSEC improves security over old authentication plugins by introducing salted passwords, time consuming key derivation function, and a client-side scramble to ensure that man-in-the-middle attackers cannot control the client response.

Example on how to create a user using the new authentication plugin:

CREATE USER 'MariaDBUser'@'%' IDENTIFIED VIA PARSEC USING PASSWORD('MyPassword123!');

This will result in:

SHOW GRANTS FOR MariaDBUser@'%';

Grants for MariaDBUser@%
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO `MariaDBUser`@`%` IDENTIFIED VIA parsec USING 'P0:lhXyNv1cIxpB8EnTxR7ON7S7:1l3rWRW1/jw45yrvYXB8eh02wzk7lcJcz4CMcWw2b+8'
