FRQ1: --secure-auth is accepted but a no-op. To be removed in 5.8 FRQ2: --skip-secure-auth is an error FRQ3: mysql_old_password server plugin is removed FRQ4: mysql_old_password libmysql plugin is removed FRQ5: accounts with mysql_old_password plugin are not activated when starting the server and an "unknown plugin" error is printed in the server log. FRQ6: OLD_PASSWORD() function is removed in 5.7. FRQ7: setting old_passwords=1 causes an error. 0 and 2 are still acceptable values. FRQ8: OLD_PASSWORD() is marked as deprecated in 5.6.
From http://rb.no.oracle.com/rb/r/6019/ WL#8006: remove mysql_old_password * Marked server-side --secure-auth as a "zombie" option: can't set it to anything but 1. Throws a warning when used. * Marked client-side --secure-auth option as a "zombie" option. Returns a deprecation warning when used. * Removed mysql_old_passwords server plugin * Removed mysql_old_passwords libmysql plugin * old_passwords server side option does not allow setting to 1. So it's only 0 and 2 * Removed the OLD_PASSWORD() SQL function. * Multiple internal special cases clean up from the server. * Cleanup of the test cases testing old_password * Update of the relevant test cases to cover the new functionality.
Added bug #19285177 to track the push of FRQ8 to 5.6
