Description
During the initial handshake, the server replies immediately to the incorrect user name with "Access denied". But if the user name is correct, but the authentication mechanism is not - like a short scramble, when a long one is needed, or a plugin should be used - the server might reply "try different auth plugin (or scamble length)".
This allows to detect what user accounts exists in the server.
