Lake of support on sha256_password authentication plugin

[elemount]

I'm using MySQL with sha256_password authentication plugin(https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/sha256-pluggable-authentication.html). This mainly because SHA1 which MySQL defaults is not secure. Please refer http://mysqlserverteam.com/protecting-mysql-passwords-with-the-sha256_password-plugin/ and https://blog.qualys.com/ssllabs/2014/09/09/sha1-deprecation-what-you-need-to-know I fount rust-mysql-simple do not support it which block I adopt Rust language, could you add support for sha256_password plugin?

Yes. I'll implement it. According to a logic of sha256_password authentication you can use SSL connection to achieve same level of security until support is implemented.

Hi. Although the sha256_password authentication plugin is not yet implemented you may be interested in switching to the caching_sha2_password plugin which is supported since v14.0.0 of the mysql crate.
