MySQL 8.4 Release Notes
8.4.2.1 连接控制插件安装
This section describes how to install the connection-control plugins, CONNECTION_CONTROL and CONNECTION_CONTROL_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS. For general information about installing plugins, see Section 7.6.1, “Installing and Uninstalling Plugins”.
To be usable by the server, the plugin library file must be located in the MySQL plugin directory (the directory named by the plugin_dir system variable). If necessary, configure the plugin directory location by setting the value of plugin_dir at server startup.
The plugin library file base name is connection_control. The file name suffix differs per platform (for example, .so for Unix and Unix-like systems, .dll for Windows).
To load the plugins at server startup, use the --plugin-load-add option to name the library file that contains them. With this plugin-loading method, the option must be given each time the server starts. For example, put these lines in the server my.cnf file, adjusting the .so suffix for your platform as necessary:
[mysqld]
plugin-load-add=connection_control.soAfter modifying my.cnf, restart the server to cause the new settings to take effect.
Alternatively, to load the plugins at runtime, use these statements, adjusting the .so suffix for your platform as necessary:
INSTALL PLUGIN CONNECTION_CONTROL
SONAME 'connection_control.so';
INSTALL PLUGIN CONNECTION_CONTROL_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
SONAME 'connection_control.so';INSTALL PLUGIN loads the plugin immediately, and also registers it in the mysql.plugins system table to cause the server to load it for each subsequent normal startup without the need for --plugin-load-add.
To verify plugin installation, examine the Information Schema PLUGINS table or use the SHOW PLUGINS statement (see Section 7.6.2, “Obtaining Server Plugin Information”). For example:
mysql> SELECT PLUGIN_NAME, PLUGIN_STATUS
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINS
WHERE PLUGIN_NAME LIKE 'connection%';
+------------------------------------------+---------------+
| PLUGIN_NAME | PLUGIN_STATUS |
+------------------------------------------+---------------+
| CONNECTION_CONTROL | ACTIVE |
| CONNECTION_CONTROL_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS | ACTIVE |
+------------------------------------------+---------------+If a plugin fails to initialize, check the server error log for diagnostic messages.
If the plugins have been previously registered with INSTALL PLUGIN or are loaded with --plugin-load-add, you can use the --connection-control and --connection-control-failed-login-attempts options at server startup to control plugin activation. For example, to load the plugins at startup and prevent them from being removed at runtime, use these options:
[mysqld]
plugin-load-add=connection_control.so
connection-control=FORCE_PLUS_PERMANENT
connection-control-failed-login-attempts=FORCE_PLUS_PERMANENTIf it is desired to prevent the server from running without a given connection-control plugin, use an option value of FORCE or FORCE_PLUS_PERMANENT to force server startup to fail if the plugin does not initialize successfully.
Note
It is possible to install one plugin without the other, but both must be installed for full connection-control capability. In particular, installing only the CONNECTION_CONTROL_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS plugin is of little use because, without the CONNECTION_CONTROL plugin to provide the data that populates the CONNECTION_CONTROL_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS table, the table is always empty.
To enable configuring its operation, the CONNECTION_CONTROL plugin exposes these system variables:
-
connection_control_failed_connections_threshold: The number of consecutive failed connection attempts permitted to accounts before the server adds a delay for subsequent connection attempts. To disable failed-connection counting, setconnection_control_failed_connections_thresholdto zero. -
connection_control_min_connection_delay: The minimum delay in milliseconds for connection failures above the threshold. -
connection_control_max_connection_delay: The maximum delay in milliseconds for connection failures above the threshold.
If connection_control_failed_connections_threshold is nonzero, failed-connection counting is enabled and has these properties:
-
The delay is zero up through
connection_control_failed_connections_thresholdconsecutive failed connection attempts. -
Thereafter, the server adds an increasing delay for subsequent consecutive attempts, until a successful connection occurs. The initial unadjusted delays begin at 1000 milliseconds (1 second) and increase by 1000 milliseconds per attempt. That is, once delay has been activated for an account, the unadjusted delays for subsequent failed attempts are 1000 milliseconds, 2000 milliseconds, 3000 milliseconds, and so forth.
-
The actual delay experienced by a client is the unadjusted delay, adjusted to lie within the values of the
connection_control_min_connection_delayandconnection_control_max_connection_delaysystem variables, inclusive. -
Once delay has been activated for an account, the first successful connection thereafter by the account also experiences a delay, but failure counting is reset for subsequent connections.
For example, with the default connection_control_failed_connections_threshold value of 3, there is no delay for the first three consecutive failed connection attempts by an account. The actual adjusted delays experienced by the account for the fourth and subsequent failed connections depend on the connection_control_min_connection_delay and connection_control_max_connection_delay values:
-
If
connection_control_min_connection_delayandconnection_control_max_connection_delayare 1000 and 20000, the adjusted delays are the same as the unadjusted delays, up to a maximum of 20000 milliseconds. The fourth and subsequent failed connections are delayed by 1000 milliseconds, 2000 milliseconds, 3000 milliseconds, and so forth. -
If
connection_control_min_connection_delayandconnection_control_max_connection_delayare 1500 and 20000, the adjusted delays for the fourth and subsequent failed connections are 1500 milliseconds, 2000 milliseconds, 3000 milliseconds, and so forth, up to a maximum of 20000 milliseconds. -
If
connection_control_min_connection_delayandconnection_control_max_connection_delayare 2000 and 3000, the adjusted delays for the fourth and subsequent failed connections are 2000 milliseconds, 2000 milliseconds, and 3000 milliseconds, with all subsequent failed connections also delayed by 3000 milliseconds.
You can set the CONNECTION_CONTROL system variables at server startup or runtime. Suppose that you want to permit four consecutive failed connection attempts before the server starts delaying its responses, with a minimum delay of 2000 milliseconds. To set the relevant variables at server startup, put these lines in the server my.cnf file:
[mysqld]
plugin-load-add=connection_control.so
connection_control_failed_connections_threshold=4
connection_control_min_connection_delay=2000To set and persist the variables at runtime, use these statements:
SET PERSIST connection_control_failed_connections_threshold = 4;
SET PERSIST connection_control_min_connection_delay = 2000;SET PERSIST sets a value for the running MySQL instance. It also saves the value, causing it to carry over to subsequent server restarts. To change a value for the running MySQL instance without having it carry over to subsequent restarts, use the GLOBAL keyword rather than PERSIST. See Section 15.7.6.1, “SET Syntax for Variable Assignment”.
The connection_control_min_connection_delay and connection_control_max_connection_delay system variables both have minimum and maximum values of 1000 and 2147483647. In addition, the permitted range of values of each variable also depends on the current value of the other:
-
connection_control_min_connection_delaycannot be set greater than the current value ofconnection_control_max_connection_delay. -
connection_control_max_connection_delaycannot be set less than the current value ofconnection_control_min_connection_delay.
Thus, to make the changes required for some configurations, you might need to set the variables in a specific order. Suppose that the current minimum and maximum delays are 1000 and 2000, and that you want to set them to 3000 and 5000. You cannot first set connection_control_min_connection_delay to 3000 because that is greater than the current connection_control_max_connection_delay value of 2000. Instead, set connection_control_max_connection_delay to 5000, then set connection_control_min_connection_delay to 3000.
When the CONNECTION_CONTROL plugin is installed, it checks connection attempts and tracks whether they fail or succeed. For this purpose, a failed connection attempt is one for which the client user and host match a known MySQL account but the provided credentials are incorrect, or do not match any known account.
Failed-connection counting is based on the user/host combination for each connection attempt. Determination of the applicable user name and host name takes proxying into account and occurs as follows:
-
If the client user proxies another user, the account for failed-connection counting is the proxying user, not the proxied user. For example, if
external_user@example.comproxiesproxy_user@example.com, connection counting uses the proxying user,external_user@example.com, rather than the proxied user,proxy_user@example.com. Bothexternal_user@example.comandproxy_user@example.commust have valid entries in themysql.usersystem table and a proxy relationship between them must be defined in themysql.proxies_privsystem table (see Section 8.2.19, “Proxy Users”). -
If the client user does not proxy another user, but does match a
mysql.userentry, counting uses theCURRENT_USER()value corresponding to that entry. For example, if a useruser1connecting from a hosthost1.example.commatches auser1@host1.example.comentry, counting usesuser1@host1.example.com. If the user matches auser1@%.example.com,user1@%.com, oruser1@%entry instead, counting usesuser1@%.example.com,user1@%.com, oruser1@%, respectively.
For the cases just described, the connection attempt matches some mysql.user entry, and whether the request succeeds or fails depends on whether the client provides the correct authentication credentials. For example, if the client presents an incorrect password, the connection attempt fails.
If the connection attempt matches no mysql.user entry, the attempt fails. In this case, no CURRENT_USER() value is available and connection-failure counting uses the user name provided by the client and the client host as determined by the server. For example, if a client attempts to connect as user user2 from host host2.example.com, the user name part is available in the client request and the server determines the host information. The user/host combination used for counting is user2@host2.example.com.
Note
The server maintains information about which client hosts can possibly connect to the server (essentially the union of host values for mysql.user entries). If a client attempts to connect from any other host, the server rejects the attempt at an early stage of connection setup:
ERROR 1130 (HY000): Host 'host_name' is not
allowed to connect to this MySQL serverBecause this type of rejection occurs so early, CONNECTION_CONTROL does not see it, and does not count it.
To monitor failed connections, use these information sources:
-
The
Connection_control_delay_generatedstatus variable indicates the number of times the server added a delay to its response to a failed connection attempt. This does not count attempts that occur before reaching the threshold defined by theconnection_control_failed_connections_thresholdsystem variable. -
The
INFORMATION_SCHEMACONNECTION_CONTROL_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTStable provides information about the current number of consecutive failed connection attempts per account (user/host combination). This counts all failed attempts, regardless of whether they were delayed.
Assigning a value to connection_control_failed_connections_threshold at runtime has these effects:
-
All accumulated failed-connection counters are reset to zero.
-
The
Connection_control_delay_generatedstatus variable is reset to zero. -
The
CONNECTION_CONTROL_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTStable becomes empty.
