Native Password Legacy for 9.6

In the previous article, I shared a solution for people who want to try the latest and greatest MySQL version.

We just released MySQL Innovation 9.6, and for those willing to test it with their old application and require the unsafe old authentication method, here are some RPMs of the legacy authentication plugin for EL/OL 8 and 9 and Fedora 42 and 43.

I needed to modify the code as the component could not compile anymore with MySQL 9.6

If you need an extra motivation to test MySQL 9.6, look for innodb_native_foreign_keys ;-).

Enjoy MySQL!
