Yes.

By the way, after having implemented a pure PostgreSQL client in Python,
I tried to do the same with MySQL; but protocol design is very bad,
compared to PostgreSQL, so I gave up; it does not make sense to waste
time with MySQL, IMHO,

It’s already wasted :). The reamining part is parsing mysql response.

Why not using ngx_http_auth_pam_module
(http://web.iti.upv.es/~sto/nginx/)? I am using it since long time to
authenticate against MySQL and against PostgreSQL without any issues so
far.

Best question: when will nginx support pluggable modules and not
require them at compile time? :slight_smile:

Best response: when we (the community) help Igor and the other nginx
developers changing the source code to support that.

IMHO Igor would not mind if YOU or ANY one else here requesting
pluggable modules would send him a patch enabling that in nginx.

I’m not sure if our ngx_drizzle[1] module will help you to talk to
mysql (clusters) from within nginx in this context. We’re already
using ngx_drizzle + mysql to do simple password login for our
application. 100% nginx config scripting.

[1] GitHub - openresty/drizzle-nginx-module: an nginx upstream module that talks to mysql and drizzle by libdrizzle

PAM is blocking.

Yeah, it’s been an important item on our TODO list for long. Static
linking does not work very well for RPM/etc packaging in a corporation
environment.
