In the past (MySQL 5.6/5.6 times) it was possible to compile Percona PAM plugin for MySQL; plus MariaDB plugin was available as well. I even heard about one more PAM plugin, but it wasn’t updated for many years.  
Do we have today some PAM/LDAP plugin for MySQL Community 5.7 integration with LDAP?

TIA,
