Does opensource version of MySql support authentication using ldap & pam ? I need to use my ldap server for central authetication of all my database servers. ( Not the OS but MySql server ) OS is already configured for central auth but mysql is not working. I tried to do it via /usr/lib/mysql/plugin/authentication_pam.so but seems its not present in default installation.

The official MySQL PAM Authentication plugin is a commercial option for MySQL Support customers, which is why it is not available on your installation

There are a few open source plugins now available for either PAM or direct LDAP authentication, I have not used them however so cannot recommend any specific project.
