Implicit connections with authentication modules

Authentication responses to authentication modules, such as PAM and LDAP, expect a password. However, in implicit connections to the database server, there is no password.

PAM and LDAP are challenge oriented systems, in that the authentication response (the password) is supplied in response to a message from the authentication module. Implicit connections can work under PAM and LDAP only in challenge mode. Implicit connections in password mode result in failure.
