Would the following:SELECT CONCAT('{digest-md5}', MD5(CONCAT(username, '::', password)))
AS password ...be correct?
Don't try to do anything special. Just:
SELECT username as user, password FROM ..
That's what I already have. It works for plain, login and cram-md5; however, but digest-md5 fails. Reading the wiki page[1] for digest-md5 says the user@example.com username format breaks because I'm not using realms. My options are either set auth_realms or store passwords using the DIGEST-MD5 scheme. I'm trying to do the later since I can't realistically set or maintain auth_realms.
