Is there a way to open this up more? How can we open up authorization by a person's windows authentication? I had been using the following code, but without success. What syntax should I use to allow an Active Directory user group to connect to a MySQL instance. CREATE USER TryMeWindows IDENTIFIED WITH authentication_windows AS 'dm\\aquitta, dm\\ActiveDirGroupName'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'TryMeWindows' WITH GRANT OPTION; my.ini contains the following line: plugin-load = authentication_windows.dll and that DLL file is located in c:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\lib\plugin When I run the query below, it tells me its recognized and installed: SELECT @@authentication_windows_log_level, @@authentication_windows_use_principal_name; shows a 2, 1 The query shows the DLL is active select * from information_schema.PLUGINS where plugin_name like '%mysql%';
