MySQL Authentication

[belltanellc]

I see that MySQL 8 defaults to SHA2 instead of native and LB does not implement that plugin. Is there any thought to providing that?

It's something we can look into; If the underlying driver package used by loopback-conector-mysql supports it, then it should be possible.

That would sure be great.

Thx for considering it!
