I have.  Not much time to reply, but one major thing I had to do form my
notes:

4. modify my.cnf and add line with:  pam_use_cleartext_plugun
   requires restart!!!!
   For Old Workbench to work with this, set the environment variable
   LIB_MYSQL_CLEARTEXT_PLUGIN=1
   For recet Workbench, in the connections dialog, on the Advanced tab,
check
   Enable Cleartext Authentication Plugin

   Problem:  Password is sent uncrypted!!!!

If i remember correclty, nothing needs to happen on JDBC-side to get this
to work.  But, I had the LIB_MYSQL_CLEARTEXT_PLUGIN=1 in the environment.
YMMV.

HTH,
Adam
