'How do I configure IntelliJ IDEA to use clear-text password authentication for a MySQL data source?

I've tried a few different ways of defining my MySQL database connection in IntelliJ, but can't seem to connect.

Requirements:

  • Uses an SSH proxy server
  • Needs the password sent in clear text.

My understanding is that the MySQL driver should have a built in plugin for this, called mysql_clear_password, and that I should be able to enable it on the Advanced tab of the database configuration by declaring its classname (com.mysql.jdbc.authentication.MysqlClearPasswordPlugin) and/or setting the LIBMYSQL_ENABLE_CLEARTEXT_PLUGIN variable to 1, Y or y.

I can't seem to get it to work. Can someone provide guidance on the correct way to do this in the IDE?
